VINTAGE NOTES

The 2018 vintage will go down as a classic, great all-round year. Flowering and fruit sets were also exceptional giving yields across Western Australia. Some significant rain events in December set up the vineyard with good levels of groundwater to see them through ripening. A relatively cool summer has allowed for slow, steady ripening of whites, retaining high levels of natural acidity. The moderate temperatures continued allowing for optimum ripening conditions for reds resulting in wines with elegance, structure and flavour.
