Drought conditions and high temperatures have reduced the grape yields, however the fruit ripened about three weeks early, catching us, not quite on the hop but it was a surprise! Overall the wines look as though they’ll be more powerful, full-bodied and longer living than normal.
The whites are softer but vibrant and bursting with strong varietal aromas and flavours.
The reds will stand out in 2007; they are very deep in colour, with bold flavours and great depth.
The only issue will be having enough of everything, as yields were down by 40%, but what there is, is very good indeed.
