Autumn and winter were dry and cool across South Australia’s growing regions. Record low rainfall prevailed
through September to March. These conditions delayed the start of the growing season in the Barossa Valley and
other warmer regions. However, in cooler Coonawarra, budburst, flowering, veraison and harvest were all earlier
than is usually expected. Warm conditions prevailed across all regions in the early part of the summer allowing
vines to develop healthy canopies and good bunch set. Late rain in January and early February was a welcome relief
across South Australia. Temperatures in spring and early summer were above the long-term average, resulting in an
early harvest for shiraz. Cooler conditions followed from mid-February which suited the later ripening cabernet
sauvignon. Grapes across all the main growing regions were able to ripen evenly and develop desirable flavours
