VINTAGE REPORT 
La Nina weather conditions resulted in a cooler and wetter growing season. While this extra moisture was beneficial for the vines, the lower temperatures caused the vines to flower later than usual, leading to a delayed harvest. This type of season resulted in grapes that were bursting with vibrant aromas and fresh flavours. be done when you push the boundaries.
