Bumper wine harvest predicted in Bathurst region

THE coming wine harvest will be a bumper one, according to Winburndale winemaker Mike Burleigh. The vigneron’s first vintage was in 2002, and Winburndale Wines has since won 18 trophies and more than 100 medals. Mr Burleigh said good spring rain, followed by a mix of hot and wet weather in summer, had put the winery on course for another bumper vintage.
