2025 was a relatively dry year and similar temperatures as to 2024. The season progressed steadily with higher rainfall in August than what has been typical, but a very dry December through February coupled with warm, dry windy conditions pushed ripeness ahead without the extreme heat spikes of 2024. With only one pass of shoot thinning the vines, we were set up for a great season. Yields were healthy and the fruit progressed steadily. Harvest started off the mark early (though still a month later than 2024) with the Riesling pick starting on 2 March.
