1998 Vintage

Warm, Dry conditions in November and December enabled favourable healthy vine growth and berry development. The upper Hunter experienced more favourable ripening conditions than the coastal affected vineyards down the Valley, where rainfall was substantially heavier in the critical months before harvest.

The favourable weather conditions allowed fruit to be hand harvested in early February, showing great elegance and tremendous definition of varietal flavour.
