Vintage 2021

2021 Barossa Valley Vintage Report

Following two particularly dry seasons, many were hoping for Mother Nature to be much kinder, and mostly she was. Winter rainfall in 2020 recorded 148mm, the same as winter 2019, (22% below average).

Written Notes

If we had to pick a sector of the wine industry that has improved literally leaps and bounds over the last decade or two, it would surely be a toss-up between our sparklers and our Roses. Gone are the endless sad, broad, clumsy, sweet wines made with whatever was left. Now we have so many enthralling Roses of exceptional quality. Clean, elegant, focused, fragrant, balanced and usually dry on the finish with length and even, if you want it, the ability to age. This is another fine example of how good Aussie Rose can be. A brief extraction, leaving the palest of pink salmon hues, destemmed Shiraz berries are added to the fermentation to establish the colour. Natural fermentation in stainless steel and older French oak with weekly lees stirring until dry. A brief sojourn in oak and then blended and bottled with minimal fining and filtration. 

 

There is the tiniest hint of oak but it in no way intrudes, merely adds to the complexity. Notes of strawberries and rose petals with bright acidity, good length, focus and a clean and dry finish. Delicious. Bliss to drink now but you could put it aside for a few years if you wanted. 93.
