2006: A Bright Vintage Year
31 July 2006
Two Paddocks
More news on our amazing 2006 vintage (from Richard) who says it’s his best vintage in 10 years.
- Pinot Noir -- 40 tons
- Riesling -- 5 tons
Very few frosts, and only two on the Gibbston block, 900 growing degree days, which equates to a warm to hot year for us. Vines slowed down mid March, which should give us wonderful Central Otago fruit flavours. Excellent fruit.
