Late spring and summer conditions were dry and warm in the lead-up to Christmas which meant there was little or no disease pressure in the vineyards with perfect bunches of Pinot and Chardonnay harvested in March and April. Wines have generous fruit flavours and excellent fresh acidities; Chardonnay and Pinot are the standout varieties for the season.
