Geoff Weaver Pinot Noir
The 2004 growing season was free from extremes of temperature. Autumn was beautiful with no significant rain to upset the harvest. The Pinot grapes were hand harvested on the 16th of April. The vintage weather was warm and generally dry. Crop levels were just under 2 kg per vine.
