2011
Vintage: With above-average winter rainfalls and cool conditions that
followed during the spring period, South Australian regions generally
experienced a later budburst and disease pressures impacted to varied
degrees across the state. Meticulous vineyard management was critical.
Spring soil moisture levels resulted in healthy shoot growth and early
canopy development. Healthy vegetative growth continued during the
cooler spring months and delayed veraison and berry development in the
New Year. A few warm days at the end of January guaranteed the
completion of veraison and commencement of the ripening season. Multiple
rain events, often isolated, meant that attention to sub-regional
detail was required and selective harvesting of pristine fruit. Low
baumes at harvest coincided with flavour development. With a focus on
warmer regions, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley fruit sourcing
prevailed.
