Vintage Conditions
2013 saw low rainfall in spring with January being quite dry and warm.  The dry weather allowed fruit to reach optimum ripeness, providing a good balance of acidity and flavour.  Some light showers in late February to help freshen the fruit, with vintage starting later than usual but finishing quickly by the end of March.
