Regional Information
Langhorne Creek has a cool maritime climate, this is due to a wind known as the Lake Doctor coming off Lake Alexandrina travelling across the Antarctic and Southern Ocean to the Langhorne Creek vines. Soil throughout the region is predominantly deep, alluvial sandy loams, with patches of black, self-mulching clays.

Vinification Details
2021 Vintage was a great year. The reliable, cooling southerly breezes most evenings during the summer and autumn ripening periods made the difference yet again, allowing good flavour development and excellent quality.
Fruit for Close of Play was destemmed and crushed into 5-tonne open fermenters. The wine underwent maceration for 8-11 days and was then pressed straight into oak, a 30% new French and 5% American combination, to complete malolactic fermentation.
