GROWING SEASON
The 2021 growing season was moderate and consistent, with start and finish dates more typical for our 50th vintage. Due to drought conditions, we observed slower bud growth, so we provided extra care and attention to the vines by managing canopy and crop loads. Shorter bud break, combined with below average fruit set, resulted in lower yields compared to last year.
