Vintage Report 2009
Overall the summer was a little cooler and wetter than usual for Marlborough.
Flowering was damp and cool for early sites so fruit set was variable around the region. January was very warm and dry while February and early March were punctuated by significant rainfall events that placed Botrytis pressure on a few blocks. Cool temperatures and dry weather throughout the rest of March and April allowed ripening and harvest to progress smoothly with all sites harvested within a month.
