Pimpala Road Shiraz

More vigorous canopy growth during bud development in 2011, ensure fewer
bunches per vine and lighter bunch weights for the 2012 vintage effectively dropping
yield rates 35 - 50%.

For the most part, growing conditions were optimal right through the growing season
with a few temperature and rainfall events which caused some anxiety. Immediately
following the high temperatures was some cool weather and a large rain event which
slowed down ripening and allowed the vintage to progress at a good rate.
