Official Vintage Conditions
One of the defining characteristics of 2011 was an exceptionally dry spring. Rainfall recorded during April, May and June made it the driest spring since 1949. Fortunately, rainfall returned during the summer, allowing the vines to continue their development. A dry September provided ideal harvesting conditions, resulting in fruit of outstanding quality.
