| Remarks: | Cool and relatively wet vintage saved by a warm and dry autumn. 5 to 6 passes for fruit thinning over two months resulted the lowest yield to date (except frosted vintage), 17hl/ha. Painstaking work of cutting the unripe berries through bird net before the harvest helped to get the grapes just ripe in time. |
