Barossas 2019 vintage wrapped-up in a month later than recent years, with the wines showing a lot of promise and an overall yield 20-30% above the last five years. Favorable weather during flowering resulted in a good fruit set. A mild summer with regular rainfall followed, which allowed the grapes to reach full optimum maturity. The heavy rainfall events largely missed the valley and the fruit was harvested successfully. As always, careful hand picking in the vineyard and sorting of the grapes as they were crushed made sure that quality was not compromised.
