2019 Vintage
The Hunter Valley experienced a mostly dry winter with regular rainfall throughout September. This, in conjunction with a focus our Viticulturalist on creating a sustainable environment within the Mount Pleasant vineyards – mulch, cover crops etc which has resulted in some of the healthiest vines on the estate in recent years. Vines have been developing great canopies, especially the Lovedale vineyard which has assisted greatly in warding off sunburn of fruit. Fruit came in on schedule for the most part and is looking expressive with healthy sized bunches and no disease pressure across all sites.
