Vintage and Winemaking Comments
Above average winter rains provided good canopy balance, with summer being moderate, vineyards were showing great signs of intense colours and flavours. Harvest was completed last week of February and looked the goods for what the Adelaide Plains is renowned for, big gutsy red with life. Minimalist winemaking undertaking continued with whole berry ferment in small open top fermenters, pressed and finished ferment in seasoned 500lt puncheons.
