Vineyard Notes
Despite a cool start to spring, flowering and fruit set were even across all varieties. November heralded the beginning of a glorious run of weather. Days were warm but never hot, and temperatures
dropped nicely into the evenings, allowing gradual ripening and acid retention in the grapes. Harvest commenced a week later than ‘normal’ under clear blue skies and finished in mid-April.
'It’s almost delicate but the fruit intensity is superb. Delightfully perfumed with exotic highly scented florals. A defining wine from Voyager Estate'
97 points, Ray Jordan;)
