After the 2011 vintage saw us receive drought breaking rains as a result of the 2010-2011 La Niña event, our vineyards experienced great growth for the 2012 season. Trimming, leaf plucking and shoot thinning were all employed to control vine growth and vigour. The La Niña weather pattern intensified in the second half of 2011, and regular rain events were experienced throughout the growing season. Summer was relatively mild, with only 2 days of temperatures greater than 40°C experienced. Despite this mild summer, vintage commenced in the 2nd week of February 2012. Colours in red varieties were strong and fruit flavours were good across all varieties. We received a severe rain event in the first week of March, where 250mm rain fell over 5 days. This was not welcome rain, and put incredible pressure on the winery, as fruit was required to be harvested quickly after the rain. We completed the remaining 75% of our fruit intake in the 3 weeks that followed. Despite the high pressure of the season, we have many parcels of both red and white that are showing great potential.

Our 2012 Marsanne Viognier has an attractive straw colour. It exhibits lovely aromas of peach and apricot enhance by toasty, new oak. The palate is richly flavoured, with ripe mid-palate fruit and a delightful creamy texture.
