Growing Conditions

Our 2012 vintage conditions in Margaret River were benign and free of significant weather events such as heat spikes or summer rains. Diurnal temperature variations were below average which meant the nights remained warm. The strong maritime cooling influences and retained soil moisture allowed the vines to maintain strong canopies until harvest. While the characteristic afternoon southerly winds appeared less grating, the lack of humidity and warm conditions kept disease pressure low and vine function high. The wines produced from the 2012 vintage are full of ripe fruit flavours, bright acidity and supple tannins.

Palate

Enticing bouquet of poached plums, blueberries, cinnamon, cracked pepper, violets and mocha. The palate is abundantly rich, full of supple ripe fruit and finished with moreish chewy fruit tannins and a dust of oak.

Appearance
