Vintage 2019
Vintage 2019 has been blessed with kind weather, excellent quality, low disease pressure and breathing space between varieties, says Villa Maria viticulturist Stuart Dudley on March 22, the day Villa launched into 24-hour mode in the vineyards and winery. “In general, from a quality point of view, things are looking great. Last year we were literally rushing around keeping an eye on the condition of fruit and making sure it was holding. Whereas this year we are just walking around looking at how good it all is.” Villa winemaker Helen Morrison puts it even more succinctly, when she says “yay for Vintage 2019!”
