After a dry winter reminiscent of 2006, vines were in water deficit at the beginning of spring. Early bud-burst was noticeable and windy conditions during flowering were, in part, responsible for lower than average yields.
Warm days were dispersed throughout October and in early summer, contributing to an early start to the 2013 harvest and a relatively short, condensed vintage. Fruit developed with strong, structural tannins, great intensity and depth of flavour.
