The 2015/16 growing season was characterised by moderate rainfall in winter with mild/warm conditions followed by a dry and warm spring. Vine growth was rapid throughout the season and most phenological markers were reached ahead of expectations due to warm temperatures and a dry soil profile. Summer was typically warm/hot with consistently cool night-time temperatures and a major rainfall event mid-January around veraison.
