The growing conditions for Vintage 2015 were simply ideal for ripening lovely low yielding, old Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon vines in Langhorne Creek. To give you an idea of what the vines looked like; each vine had about 10 shoots and each shoot held just one bunch. Hence, in Christo’s Paddock Cabernet block we harvested just 2 tonnes per hectare of wonderful, clean, intensely flavoured fruit and 2.2 tonnes per hectare of equally beautiful fruit from Joseph’s Shiraz block. Both parcels went smoothly through fermentation and are now tucked away in French oak.
