Vintage 2012

Lower-than-average yields in Australia, as across much of Europe. This was blamed on high winds, drought and low fruitfulness resulting from the poor 2011 vintage. Quality, however, was much better than in the exceptionally damp 2011, with South Australia avoiding some of the weather extremes experienced by other states. Strong varietal typicality is a commonly cited feature of the 2012 crop.

Written Notes

Typical level of alcohol for these wines – just 10.5%, meaning a second glass is not a question, rather a must! There is a touch of toast that is apparent, with some spice. It is a delightful mix of freshness and early maturity but it does have many years ahead, to develop much further. Bright acidity. A wine with balance and length. On the finish, a touch of dry honey is just starting to emerge. From vines originally planted in the 1920’s. Locally, $55.
