Vintage conditions

2018 Vintage

South Australia’s cool-climate regions experienced above average winter rainfall, providing good soil moisture profiles ahead of the growing season. Drier conditions prevailed from September through to April. Spring provided ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set while summer temperatures rose above the long-term average. Healthy vine canopies shielded the berries from adversity and grapes were able to ripen evenly across the regions. The 2018 vintage quality was exceptional, with lovely varietal flavour and pronounced natural acidity.
