2014 vintage report for Rutherglen (Victoria)

Vintage in Rutherglen got away to an early start with many picking in the first week of February, attributable to the heat in January and low crop loads as a result of frost in mid-October.
Cofield senior winemaker and proprietor Damien Cofield said picking continued fairly constantly for the rest of vintage, baring small rain events in mid-February to late March which allowed picking to be spaced out.
“Quality of the table wines is very high – especially the reds – and the fortified harvest has also been strong with sugar levels reaching up to 20 baume for Rutherglen Muscat.
