VINTAGE NOTES
The 2016 growing season saw above average rainfall late in the winter, followed by another event in early spring increasing soil moisture. This combined with warmer than average October temperatures resulted in higher than normal vine growth. The growing period was longer and milder which favoured the earlier ripening varieties - overall a challenging cooler vintage resulting in leaner, elegant more complex, austere styles.
