Vintage Conditions

The 2019/2020 growing season was characterised by long dry periods and regular heat spikes. The Shiraz vine yields were lower than long term average. Fruit quality was very good due to mild and settled weather during March 2020.  These conditions saw the grape phenology mature in line with sugars levels, producing medium to full bodied wines which retained their natural acidity.
