The 2019/20 growing season provided challenges throughout, displaying compression of season, extremes of temperature and then a global pandemic at the time of harvest! In spite of this quality of fruit was excellent and as an initial indicator as to why, the general “pattern” of the season’s weather can be observed as following a normal trend for Coonawarra. In spite of some variability in bunchnumbers and fruit weight, the season overall resulted in good vine balance and the fruit looked fantastic throughout. This observation is already being reflected in the 2020 wines! - Hans Loder
