91 Points - Ray Jordan

"This is a blend of Adelaide Hills and Padthaway fruit. It was a pretty hot year but the fruit seems to have handled it well. There are distinctive characters of typical light white peach, lifted grapefruit and citrus. The oak is well managed and sits harmoniously with the palate. A balanced wine for drinking in the short" - Ray Jordan

Vintage Conditions

The rainfall for the growing season was lower than average but many growers managed this by consistent irrigations throughout the growing season. South Australia experienced 11 days over 35ºC during December and January with one of the hottest days on record. A cooler than average February allowed the vines to recover from the hotter than average December and January,  which allowed all varieties to achieve optimal flavour ripeness and intensity.
