Description
The 2010 Vintage
The 2009/2010 season was fantastic and very much welcomed after the stress of the previous year. A beautiful vintage with just the right amount of rain and sunshine, no disease pressure and everything went like clockwork, resulting in lovely small, ripe berries. A vintage of no excuses!
