2009 / 2008 / 2007
Vintage
2009 was an exciting vintage for our winemakers, with a return to average cropping levels in our vineyards as compared to the last few vintages being low cropping, though the vintage was also very compact, with many of the grape varieties ripening at the same time. Mild temperatures for much of ripening season made for excellent acid balance and fruit flavours in the grapes.
Winemaking
he 2009 semillon sauvignon blanc was crafted from premium grapes grown in the Coonawarra and Mudgee regions, with fermentations conducted seperately in batches between 16-18 degrees celsius. Upon completion, the wine was blended to 75% semillon and 25% sauvignon blanc.
