vintage is another very good vintage from the Margaret River region. However, it was not without its challenges. Whilst disease pressure was low in the late spring, yields were reduced due to bouts of blustery wet weather and cold nights at flowering which interrupted berry set and development. The early summer was wonderfully warm but the delayed flowering in the native red gums, meant the birds were hungry.
The autumn period, was spotted with intermittent and lingering rain in late March, which slowed the harvest and cooled the season. This extended ripening period enhanced fruit flavours and gave softer, ripe tannins in all red varieties
