Blind Spot Vineyard Development and Transformation
As we prepare for the opening of our Grenache Room at our Blind Spot Vineyard in Blewitt Springs it's a great time to reflect upon the transformation that has taken place across the vineyard as a whole since we took ownership in 2019.
“Over the last few years, big changes have been made to the footprint of the Blind Spot vineyard. We reviewed whether existing blocks were fit for purpose, or whether they were even planted in the right place, and made some hard decisions." - Alex Sas Viticulturist

2018 Vintage Update
Vintage 2018 is well under way and producing superb fruit. Mike and Tim have been busy in the vineyards picking a small parcel of Tempranillo and a new Shiraz vineyard in Willunga. This week gets even busier as we pick our Home Block Tempranillo in the warmer beachside district of McLaren Vale, and then move toward the cooler sites of McLaren Flat, Blewitt Springs and Clarendon to pick our Single Vineyard Grenache.
Given the even, moderate, and dry growing season with only a few hot spikes across summer, its shaping up to be an excellent year for Grenache and McLaren Vale as a region.Â
We look forward to sharing these wines with you soon! Stay tuned.Â
