2014 Regional Vintage Report MATAKANA
Good year all round, as always there will be exceptions to the rule..."Most fruit ripening was 7-10 days earlier than last year."
The Matakana region in general experienced a drier summer which effects the levels of production with some varieties; for most this has meant slightly reduced weight especially the later ripening reds.
