Collection: 2020
Spring was a mixture of warm and very cool, with frost warnings in mid September. Cold nights were common. There was a very hot day at the end of November and strong winds all the way through until mid November. Rainfall was ⅔ average.
Summer saw hotter temperatures in December and January but cooler in February. We had two days over 40°C (December and January) and one day of 15°C in February. Rainfall was ½ the average (65mm).
Autumn was cooler during the day but cloudy weather meant warmer nights.
It was very wet mid March with over 100mm falling on 16 March.
This harvest was the first to be undertaken with social distancing due to the COVID pandemic.
We picked Chardonnay on 3 April. Pinot Noir was picked on 18 April.
