2018 was an unusually cool vintage with a perfect ripening season, which meant that the wine grapes were all picked a couple of weeks later than usual.
This vintage has the potential to be a once in a lifetime vintage- everything was almost perfect, the long, cool ripening along with great soil moisture (from wet 2017) combined with no super hot days and no rain.
Best of all, we were able to harvest all our grapes, which after 2017 felt like an absolute blessing.
The Verdelho will be the first wine released from the 2018 vintage.
