2006 Vintage Conditions
The 2006 growing season was one of the driest on record for the Printhie Vineyards. Budburst occurred right on schedule, however as we progressed through the vintage all other dates moved forward and we were picking by the 14 March, 7 to 10 days ahead of previous years. The extreme dry, coupled with hot westerly winds had the effect of concentrating the sugars in the fruit earlier than normal and we were able to pick ripe full flavoured bunches.
Winemaking Notes
Our version of the classic Australian blend. Although fermented separately the blend was completed early to allow the wine to rest in a mixture of French and American oak.
