1997

The 1997 vintage was described as ‘the best in 10 years’. Wines showed wonderful complexity and potential for great longevity. Yields were down by about 30% due to low fruitfulness from the cold 1996 vintage. Small bunches resulted in higher than normal sugars. Weather during the vintage was fine and mild.
