2010 vintage report for Shoalhaven Coast (New South Wales)

Supplied by the Shoalhaven Coast Wine Industry Association
Growing season: An early budburst and fruitset occurred due to a warmer winter. There was a high incidence of rainfall from February. Most wineries in the region experienced an early harvest.
Vintage: The harvest period was fairly standard – nothing unusual.
Yields and quality: Yields are approximately 50% or less down on previous years. The stand-outs this year are, again, likely to be Semillon and Chambourcin. There is a propensity for lighter style, rather than full-bodied, wines this year.
