2010 Vintage Report
What promised so much leading up to vintage, with the first commercial quantities of Pinot Noir from Tiger Ranch, and a steady healthy crop at Eugenana and Lake Barrington View vineyards was destroyed in a matter of days when European Wasps literally destroyed approximately 6 to 8 tonnes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at Tiger Ranch and Eugenana in just four (4) days. Many of you may have seen reports of major losses on the Tamar and other areas of the state, this was total and complete destruction.

Vintage 2013
Vintage 2013 has been a mixed bag, with quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay being harvested at Leven Valley Vineyard with a good yield of Pinot Noir for new owners Mike and Wendy Dontschuk, but Chardonnay yields were much lower than anticipated. The resulting wines are looked forward with high expectations from extremely high fruit quality resulting from this long ripening season, even though volumes will mean only a very small limited amount of Chardonnay will eventually be available. Chardonnay was harvested on the last weekend in April, with Pinot Noir the first weekend in May. A tiny amount of Gewurztraminer was also harvested, but unfortunately for our followers of the "G" so small that it will never be available commercially.
