Season profile: 2020 started with average spring temperatures and a wetter June. Fruit set was excellent and remained healthy throughout the summer. Years of regenerative farming allowed increased yield and quality simultaneously in a year where many were challenged. Degree day accumulations we a bit below normal through to the end of August, but September weather was exceptionally warm and dry which helped the fruit finish perfectly.
