Vintage Characteristics
The vintage of 2008 in the Swan Valley was extremely early with very hot conditions resulting in lower than normal crops. In the white wines we experienced good, natural, refreshing acidity which has resulted in sensational wines and in the reds drought conditions have produced concentrated flavours and colours culminating in amazing quality. |
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy this wine on its own at the end of the day, over a casual lunch or with grilled seafood brushed with garlic and herbs. |
