Overview

2019 vintage was the third year of strong drought affecting these unirrigated vines. The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential.

The vines on the Bainton Vineyard were planted in 1940 on a duplex soil overlying an old stream bed. Given that this was the second year in a strong drought the vines were still able to produce premium fruit be it at low yields.
