Product Notes
The majority of South Australia had a dry winter reminiscent of 2006, vines were in water deficit at
the beginning of spring and became accustomed
to dry conditions quite early. The exception was
McLaren Vale, where revitalising winter rainfall
exceeded the long term average. Early budburst
was noticeable across many regions. Dry and warm
spring conditions explained canopy growth and
yields, becoming typical of the 2013 growing season.
Warm days were dispersed throughout October,
November and in early January, contributing to
an early start to the 2013 harvest and a condensed
vintage. Dry and warm conditions, coupled with
lower than average yields resulted in fruit showing
strong, structural tannins and wines of great
intensity and encouraging flavour. The Magill
Estate fruit was harvested in pristine condition,
hand-picked on February 14th and 15th 2013.
