Growing Conditions
The vineyard at Victory Point has never been irrigated and the distinctiveness of each vintage reflects in the wines. 2009 looks like another wonderful vintage for the Margaret River region.The prediction of a late vintage was speculated over the 08-09 summer season, as a warm December continued into January and mild weather continued through to March/April.
Winemaking
On delivery to the winery the whole bunches were destemed, crushed and pressed with minimal skin contact of just 4 hours. The wine was then settled and racked off gross juice lees before being inoculated with a yeast (traditionally used for pinot noir) to bring out the spice and savoury flavours. It was cold fermented to dryness and cold stabilised. The wine was bottled with screw cap closures on 30th June 2009
