2007 Vintage

The 2007 vintage started 2 weeks earlier than in previous years due mainly to the drought and warm weather. Thus far, yields are significantly lower but the quality of the fruit has been exceptional.

Diversity of regions will stamp the 2007 Cassegrain vintage apart from preceding years. Fruit has been sourced from Hastings Valley, Northern Slopes, Granite Belt, Hunter Valley, Tumbarumba, Orange, Mudgee and Coonawarra. This will give an unprecedented depth of quality for all you lucky club members to enjoy.

Some of the stand out wines to date are the Semillon off our own vineyard which is the best Semillon I have seen come through the winery and the 2007 Durif promises to be another cracker!

Long hours and little sleep are part of the job description for any winery worker during vintage time. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of my team for all their hard work and diligence. I am sure their efforts during this busy time will deliver an excellent finished product that we can all enjoy!
