2004 Vintage- 2004 was a year characterised by a mild winter and a reasonably rainy spring that allowed for an even germination stage of the grapes and high bud fertility. Later in the year, the summer was characterised by scarce rainfall accompanied by below average temperatures. This made the agronomic management of grapes easier, leading to a harvest of healthy grapes. Finally, a September filled with sunny days provided the perfect conditions for harvesting.
