Mercouri Estate 2013
Harvest Report
The 2013 harvest began
on August 12th – a full 10 days earlier than the preceding year with the white
varieties of Viognier, Albarino and Malvazia Aromatica first to be hand picked.
Very good weather
conditions, including acceptably high temperatures after mid-July, contributed
to this early start date.
The combination of
excellent growing conditions (ideal temperatures during winter, total absence
of grape diseases, zero rainfall after June) with the pre-harvest grape
characteristics (high acidities, phenolic richness) lead us to believe that the
2013 vintage will be a classic!
