Vintage Notes
The 2024 Adelaide Hills growing season was helped by plentiful winter rainfall. Spring was relatively dry and mild providing optimal conditions for budburst. A series of cold, wet and windy fronts arrived just as the vines were flowering, frustrating growers and causing significant crop loss. From there on, summer was mild with no heatwaves of any significance. The crop ripened slowly, helped along by some short bursts of late summer heat, and was harvested in Autumn. The quality of the harvest was outstanding, despite the small yield.
