Vintage 2010: We recorded just about average annual rainfall over the year, which resulted in healthy crops of Shiraz and Cabernet. Unseasonably warm November weather interfered with the chardonnay during flowering and has resulted in small crops of this variety. The weather then remained almost perfect for the rest of vintage. The general consensus amongst winemakers in the Vale is that 2010 marks an exceptional year for both red and white wines.

'No debate here, this is a brilliantly fresh, sweet delight from a great year in McLaren Vale, full of zing along with its lemon zestiness and toffee pineapple aromatics. The joy of this style is it has amazing freshness and drive while proud of its deep, pure citrussy sweetness.' (taken from The Advertiser Wednesday 8th September 2011)
