The 2016 harvest was a challenging one, as heat waves and a very dry growing season from October through February meant that yields were smaller. The harvest also happened earlier for this reason. Thankfully these conditions also produced healthy, concentrated fruit. With smaller berries, low PH, good acidity and sugar levels, we were delighted with the quality of our 2016 harvest.
