T he 2011 - 2012 season in Central Otagohas been very kind to us so far. Arelatively benign spring produced
a great flowering.

Practising an organic regime, we have come toaccept that the vineyard is visually not quiteas neat and immaculate as herbicided undervine
rows.I now view the "weeds" quite differently.
I take pleasure in the enormous variety, thedifferent colours of their flowers, the
different depths of their roots, the scentsthat some produce when crushed underfoot,- knowing that as they are worked into thesoil under the vines at intervals through theseason, they are each contributing to the
interest and complexity of the soil - whichwill in time find expression in the wines we
produce

T he extremely dry conditions meant ourdrip irrigation was in use daily to keep
the vines from undue stress. This patternwas finally broken by some good rains fromlate January, giving the vines a welcome boost.

S ue, Kris, Margie andEmily removed later-ripening bunches andcarefully reduced thecrop load on weaker vinesto ensure even ripening.Although the crop yieldis expected to be on thelight side of average, thequality is lookingexcellent.

Now the wait!! We are hoping the weathercontinues to smile on us, allowing the grapes
to hang on the vines, accumulating sugars,flavours and fine ripe tannins.
Expecting to harvest immediately after Easter.
