We are now almost halfway through vintage 2022.
For the first time in years, we had good Spring rain over the growing season. The whole Hunter Valley awoke from a mild winter and the vineyards transformed into a lush, vibrant landscape as far as the eye could see.
With harvest beginning in the final week of January, it was nice to spend the holidays with my wife Nikki and daughters Amelie and Charlotte before the rush of vintage began.
At this early stage, we have exceptional quality semillon and chardonnay coming from our vineyards. Each vineyard has a unique expressive profile that we are looking forward to showcasing in the future.
The reds are still taking their time in the vineyards, but we know they will be worth the wait.
Cheers,
Mike
