Marlborough 2024 Vintage Report

Marlborough 2024 proved to be a challenging, cool year requiring rigorous selection in the vineyard. Conditions were supported by optimal luminosity (2150 hours of sun), allowing for gradual, seamless sugar accumulation, and however, heavy late-season rains (108mm) complicated the harvest, requiring rapid picking and strict sorting.
