A moderately wet Winter led into a typically mild Spring, and the rains dried up as Summer began. Summer was warm with a few hot spikes, but ample water in the ground kept the vines in good condition. The ripening period of January and February was moderate, with little or no rain - perfect conditions for the vines. Yields were moderate, and the grapes could be harvested when they were perfectly ripe. The resultant wines have fantastic intensity and purity. 2018 is considered one of the best vintages for Margaret River.
