VINTAGE CONDITIONS

A very warm spring affected fruit set and slightly
reduced yields, however the vines adapted well.
Heavy rains and some hail in January caused little
damage, and the following cool, dry February
weather, and warm conditions in early March, created
ideal conditions for steady, even ripening, which led to
an exceptional vintage despite early challenges.

GRAPE VARIETY : Cabernet Sauvignon

MATURATION : Matured without oak to retain the fresh fruit flavours.
