Vineyard

Marlborough region experienced a cooler period coming off the back of flowering, tempering yields across the region to compensate for an excellent berry set.Growing degree days were well above average but lower than the previous two years. The 2019/2020 summer, from the second week of December through most of January, was cooler than average. Temperatures in February were well above average, ensuring a good start to ripening. March was slightly cooler than average, but with warm days and cool nights and almost no rainfall. It allowed fruit to ripen in ideal conditions without any disease pressure from botrytis bunch rot. The lower night temperatures helped to retain acids. Vintage 2020 in Marlborough has produced fruit of exceptional quality and flavour concentration.
