A strange summer down here in the SE. Exceptional June following an exceptional spring, a very good and hot July but with a weirdly wet Eastern Kent, and an August that was very decent but meandered a bit in the last third.
I don’t have a PWS at home so the stats below are from my vineyard in Pett Bottom in the North Downs, where the weirdness of the weather was extreme.
