Vigilance around disease pressure was paramount, with regular rain events, unusual humidity and warm nights in December and January. Day temperatures were cool, delaying the vine’s physiological advancement. Marlborough breathed a sigh of relief as cyclone Gabrielle minimally impacted the region in February, while wreaking havoc through much of the North Island. The season turned a corner for in early March with a return to cool nights and sunnier conditions allowing us to delay harvest, resulting in fruit that reached good sugar levels with attractive flavours, while disease levels remained low.
