Season Profile: The 2019 season started with above average spring temperatures and was looking great through a smokeless summer. Unusual for the Okanagan, September brought frequent rains which were a challenge to some vineyards, while our regenerative practices provided for a healthy crop. We green thinned heavily anticipating a cooler fall forecast, which allowed for properly ripened fruit prior to the hard frost on Oct 15th.
