We had cool, wet weather at the beginning of the growing season resulting in a slow start and moderate healthy growth. High rainfall in November and January meant there was no need for any irrigation. Fungal disease pressure was high in November \/ December, but well timed contact sprays kept the vines healthy. Bunch and berry size was a little larger than usual due to the higher rain and less wind than usual. This resulted in a little less concentrated, more delicate fresh style. Moderate temperatures and no rain over harvest meant the development of attractive fresh fruity characters.\u003cbr class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e Harvest date: 6\/03\/2014-14\/03\/2014 @ 23.2-25.3 Balling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\" class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixGuard wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"font-size: 25px;\" class=\"font_6 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eProduction\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\" class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e100% destemming and crushing by hand directly into 2 ton open top fermentation tanks.

Lovely fruitcake, dark berry and cigar box spice nose. Soft, gentle palate for such a young Cabernet with juicy dark berry, fruitcake and spice flavours.
