2017

A dry mild winter meant a continuation of the drought in North Canterbury, alleviated by small, but regular rainfalls later in spring. January was wild with high winds and very dry conditions which was stressful on our vines. Humid weather returned in early March raising disease pressures. Harvest was brought in before the rain which caught out many growers.
