Description
Our growing season in 2019 started with cool spring weather resulting in lower than usual fruit set, in early summer we developed open loose bunches with small flavourful berries. From January onwards, Marlborough experienced a summer of the century, with a spell of long hot dry weather with moderately cool nights providing the perfect environment to ensure physiological and flavour ripeness whilst retaining freshness.
