Vintage Report
|
The 2004/2005 season started out with an early budburst. Seasonal growing
conditions were ideal, with Spring and Summer being relatively dry and cool.
Vintage began ten days earlier than last year. Ideal ripening conditions
continued with warm days and cool nights and drier than average conditions
during March. Crops yields were variable, although generally down on
average, and down significantly on last year. The variability in yield and cool
weather resulted in a long ripening period for each variety. However, varieties
ripened concurrently making a relatively condensed vintage. Fruit condition
and quality was generally excellent with the ideal season. High colour levels
were found in red varieties. Disease levels were lower than average.
