Vintage 2000 vintage was small and early. Another drought winter, frost at the end of October, poor flower development in spring and the unseasonal cool temperatures in late October/early November led to yields. This was compounded by searing summer temperatures and a large amount of rain at the end of February - 100mm of rain over 24 hours courtesy of a tropical cyclone up north - which caused splitting of fruit, mould infections and subsequent shrivel and raisining.

Fragrant sweet honey, clover blossom, grassy, clove/vanilla spice with underlying hints of lemon zest and honey yoghurt.

A rich mouth- filling complex palate with a fleshy structure and a lingering crisp finish.

Rich gold in colour.

Overall, the whites are delicate with good flavor intensity while the reds are showing great potential for ageing.
