Thankfully the wet conditions that can also be a feature of this weather pattern missed us in McLaren Vale, instead drenching the north of our state and infamously the east coast of Australia. The cooler conditions pushed the start of the vintage out by two weeks, into the shorter days\/longer nights of Autumn.

Our Monastrell is made to be more medium bodied, yet to have all the lovely spice and savoury notes. The hard soil and the thick-skinned berries naturally lead to some late, chewy tannin. Whole bunches in the ferment help to temper the weight of the wine as does earlier picking. Thirteen months in older French hogsheads helps to soften the wine.
