Vintage

The 2020 growing season began with an unusually warm winter, followed by a warm, dry spring. The drought arrived early, permanently affecting yields. The extremely dry growing season and hot weather in August accelerated ripening, resulting in an early start to harvest, one to two weeks ahead of normal in most areas. Despite the heat spikes the fruits retained their acidity. Phenological maturity was excellent, leading to fully flavoured wines at lower Brix.

These elements have helped deliver intensely concentrated grapes (small berries with concentrated flavours), to produce deeply impressive wines capable of long-term cellaring.
