We couldn’t have asked for a better vintage. 05 was, and is, a cracker!
Across all three regions, a great season was setup by good winter rains, followed by a warm spring, and very mild summer with regular well timed rains right through to January. Harvest itself was event free with mild and dry ripening conditions right through to the end of April. We were able to pick every parcel at that optimum moment.

And thanks to the help of a crack team – led by the one and only TSW (Tim Smith), we were able to mother all our babies through ferment, and then put them to bed for the winter. Can’t wait to wake them up!
