The fruit for this wine was sourced entirely from selected vineyards in the Mount Gambier region. October and November received above average rain which reduced frost pressure. The rest of the growing season from December - March was very dry. High temperatures in short bursts in January necessitated careful irrigation to maintain canopy function and vine health, which was excellent in the vineyards through to harvest. Between the short hot spells the temperatures were cool to mild which created excellent flavour development for Sauvignon Blanc.
