VINTAGE NOTES
Slightly longer than a normal vintage, but very fulfilling. Peak dry weather conditions, combined with the absence of any significant climatic events or disease pressure, created conditions for a mild season, ideal for gentle, consistent ripening across all varieties. The fruit for this wine is from the Northern Margaret River, a Gin Gin clone, and exhibits powerful fruit intensity with balanced natural acidity.
