Vintage is looking good. After a challenging wet and cool summer we are now experiencing a perfectly dry and sunny autumn to help ripen our grape crop. The slow ripening should result in nice fruit flavours in the 08 vintage wines.

Moderate crop loads should also help to produce premium quality. The Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir was picked in the 2nd week of March with Chardonnay and Riesling to follow just before Easter.
