VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Across the Limestone Coast and South Australia, the 2019-
2020 season got off to a good start with below average but sufficient rainfall to provide good soil moisture levels. The season was cool and windy which impacted early vine growth, and resulted in smaller than average crops in most vineyards. Heat spikes around Christmas were isolated and the lead up to harvest was cool allowing for ideal, slow flavor development and very little disease pressure. The small quantities of high-quality fruit produced rich wines with great depth and complexity.
WINEMAKING
Well considered harvest decisions, to ensure the fruit expression and acid
levels are in balance to start the winemaking process. The fruit is harvested in the cool of the night to retain freshness and is promptly processed into a gentle press on receipt at the winery. The resultant juice is partly clarified and transferred onto oak for
fermentation.
