2025 Vintage Notes The biggest thing about the 2025 vintage is how amazingly dry it has been. McLaren Vale is up around 160 days without recorded rainfall at this point (17/04/25) so we are talking realdry. And while we’ve had a few dry years recently, they have still been relatively cool generally speaking, so we […]

2021 Vintage Progress We find ourselves about ½ way through the 2021 vintage at this point. So far, I think it would be fair to say that we are in the midst of an excellent vintage. The growing season this year has been different to the last few that we have seen here in McLaren […]
