VINTAGE NOTES A wet winter brought 500mm of rain, followed by a cold, windy and damp spring. Flowering occurred around the end of December. The summer months were mild, humid and cloudy, followed by a cool autumn. The pinot gris from Littlehampton was picked in the second week of March, goverened by a late harvest moon, showing excellent aromatics, flavour, acidity and ageing potential.
