Each varietal was hand picked and whole bunch pressed to barrel and then barrel fermented Initially on wild yeasts. Batonage weekly, once malolactic fermentation started it was stopped and the wine was left on lees for six months.

With healthy yields, ideally timed rainfall, and ripening season temperatures, it was an idyllic season for cool climate wines. Chardonnay was a highlight and Gris the best in several years. Pinot Noir, enteral, perfumed, and outstanding. Higher yields and cooler conditions, favoured growers who moderated yields in Shiraz and Cabernet, producing generous wines of immediate appeal.
