1999 vintage report for Hastings River (New South Wales)

James Mobbs, spokesman for Hastings River Vignerons, said good growing conditions throughout the season had led to a small increase in yields. Poor weather during vintage, with prolonged wet conditions, meant that many growers reported increased rots in fruit and reduced sugar content, especially mid-season. ‘Those reds picked either early or late in the season show good quality and flavour,’ James said. ‘Whites picked early escaped the wet weather but those in the mid season had reduced sugar levels.’
