For all of our varieties with the exception of Chardonnay, we had a lighter than expected harvest. We attribute that to some event that happened in our vineyard during fruitset where at harvest we were left with clusters that were very loose. This looseness worked in our favor for the Chardonnay which typically experiences some form of fungal attack but this year, we had beautiful, loose clusters.

This year was a bit of a challenge with rain and humidity throughout the grape growth period. However, the grapes were as clean as they could be given the conditions.
