VINTAGE NOTES

A mild 2020 spring with reasonable rainfall provided excellent growing conditions. A wet November followed by a warm and dry December and January set the vines for up for a regular season. However wet and humid conditions in February created an unusual vintage with extreme weather conditions. As a result, the 2021 vintage required extra work and attention to detail in the vineyard. This block of SA Clone from Frankland River performed extremely well achieving optimum ripeness which is reflected in the final style. This wine expresses its varietal and regional terroir.
