1999 vintage report for Wrattonbully (South Australia)

Harvesting finished with fine weather helping to get the grapes off before an onset of rainy conditions, said Bruce Burgess, president of the Wrattonbully Wine Industries Association. Some frosts at the end of the season led to some difficulty with picking. Yields were slightly down but not to the extent that was expected with the earlier frosts. Baume levels have been good, with berries full of flavour and the lighter crops are of excellent quality. Very little disease was noticed in the district and some of the new plantings harvested for the first time have yielded very well.
