NOTES FROM THE VINEYARD:
The country-wide air frosts on 27th & 28th April produced temperatures of -5.0C which in turn led to 40% loss of primary buds in the Pinot Gris and 50% in the Chardonnay. Luckily the secondary buds developed well benefiting from our careful attention and produced outstanding fruit, albeit the yield was small. We were fortunate to escape the effects of downy mildew which was also prevalent in that season in large part due to our hand nurturing.
