Planted in 1965. A warm winter in 2024, with early budburst once again. Strong August rainfall was crucial although was followed by a very dry spring with some frost events although not significant (aided by our two new frost fans). Uneventful flowering meant we had good crop levels across most varietals although some still recovering from the 2023 frost. Summer was once again dry but without the heat spikes of the 2024 vintage. Some significant rain in late March caused some concern however ended up being very helpful to our red varietals.
