Hahndorf Hill\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>Winery Well, the year of 2014 AD is drawing to a close and it looks as if the vineyard has had a very happy year indeed! Good canopies all round and – lo and behold – we have some fruit this year! Last year Mother Nature proved to be very stingy, with fruit yields of less than one tonne per acre across most blocks. So it is with great appreciation and delight that I spy healthy little bunches of grapes wherever I look \u00e2\u20ac\u201c probably at about just under the three tonnes per acre yield, which is about perfect. (Exception being the Shiraz which again this vintage will have yields of below two tonnes per acre.)<\/p>\n Acres of beautiful Gruner Veltliner<\/p><\/div>\n The Gruner Veltliner looks gorgeous! Lovely acres of green Gruner with fresh, healthy canopies and the interesting thing is that bunch sizes seem to have averaged out quite modestly this year. This is in contrast with our first two vintages in 2010 and 2012 when we had surprisingly large bunches and as a consequence had to drop a huge amount of fruit early in the season to ensure modest yields. Perhaps now that these vines are going into their seventh year they are becoming more settled and balanced.<\/p>\n Close up of little Gruner Veltliner bunches Hahndorf Hill<\/p><\/div>\n So all in all, a very exciting vintage 2015 to look forward to!<\/p>\n I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to wish you all a great holiday season and all the very best for 2015!
