Awards and Accolades

The 2007 growing season began with a typical spring, the vines showed their first buds by early May. Summer was more temperate than usual, which had little effect on whites, but for reds, meant that flavours were not developing at their usual rate. To allow proper ripening, harvest was delayed a few days into mid-September. Subsequent periods of cool, rainy weather further extended the harvesting.  Although final yields were 5-10% less than forecasted, the smaller crop promises to produce excellent quality wines with full body and ripe concentrated flavours.
