2006 Vintage Notes
The 2006 vintage produced below average yields in our vineyards with a very dry summer and autumn enhancing the ripening period. Good fruit ripeness and natural pH/acidity balance was achieved due to these ideal conditions. Vintage began a week earlier than normal and all the grapes were picked by the 7th April 2006.

CELLARING POTENTIAL: 5-7 years.
