VINTAGE

The rainfall was below average in the lead up to the 2009 vintage in the Adelaide Hills. Spring was mild with rainfall periods in October and mid December but overall it was one of the driest starts to the year since 1957. However Autumn proved to have perfect ripening weather to produce an exceptional wine.
