A long, even growing season with occasional heat spikes gave richness to the resulting wines without losing elegance. The warm daytime temperatures and lack of rainfall produced a vintage that allowed our winemakers and viti-culturalists to pick fruit at the optimum flavour ripeness.
It has been noted as one of the best growing seasons in recent years, with a wet winter allowing the vines to produce a healthy canopy, and mild temperatures and periodic rain providing good growing conditions. Very little heat stress was experienced across the growing regions, resulting in a light but lively Pinot Grigio with full flavour expression, fresh and crisp.
In 2019 South Australia’s growing regions, had a very dry winter and spring. These conditions continued throughout summer with hot and dry weather in January and February. The prevailing conditions resulted in one of the lowest yielding vintages on record. These consequential dry conditions meant there was no disease pressure and the resultant wines had terrific varietal expression.
