2020 Project
“The discovery of Weightmans Block 10 provided the perfect opportunity to craft Merlot the way it should be. The certified organic 2020 vintage is brooding, complex and finely woven, demonstrating what growing the right clone on the right soils can achieve.”

Vineyard Notes
A close to perfect season - a warm, dry spring provided excellent flowering while one of the hottest Decembers on record sped fruit development along. A slightly milder January was perfect for ripening. No bird pressure, due to the amazing Marri blossom, made harvesting of the whites very straightforward in beautiful weather conditions.
