First weekend in April, First frost Saturday, 02 April – Sunday, 03 April – Monday, 04 April Winter is back throughout the country which is not in and of itself a problem, but we have had some warm and sunny spring days on 20-25 March. The vines lying on the…

It was a particularly wet year. The winter was unusually mild whereas the spring and summer were relatively cool. A severe frost in April, and to top it off a strong attack of mildew in early June. So, what the 2021 vintage will look like? 08/04/2021:  Frost has arrived! Temperatures…
