About the wine: Lightly pressed to give the freshest brightest and liveliest wine possible. McLaren Vale’s 2019 vintage was low yielding but of a very high quality. A very dry winter and a cool spring resulted in poor budburst and flowering around October. Then in December we experienced some amazing wind gusts, which damaged some of the newly formed bunches. Then followed a heat wave which continued to reduce the crop levels. Lower yields do have the benefit of increasing colour density and structure, so although the tonnes are less than most previous years, the quality is very good
