Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
McLaren Vale had good winter, and early spring rains were followed by a generally dry and temperate growing season. Good flowering conditions, particularly for the later ripening varieties, resulted in higher berry numbers per bunch. Canopies developed well and were balanced to slightly above-average yields. Slow and steady ripening, without excessive heat events resulted in superb varietal fruit intensity with balanced natural acidity and fine tannin structures.
Winemaker Notes
A warm start to the vintage period, but a long cool period over most of summer and autumn, led to an excellent flavour maturity balanced perfectly with sugar ripeness. Enhanced natural acidity allowed for great colour retention and depth, wines which were a joy to craft.
Food Pairing Notes
Best paired with eggplant parmigiana.
