Did you pick before or after the heat? This was the question most commonly asked around South Australian wine areas in the 2008 post vintage period. A record 15 days straight over 35˚c in mid March saw sugar levels skyrocket. Thankfully we had picked our last block on the first day of the heatwave, so saved ourselves much grief. The vintage was bookended by heat with the warmest New Years Eve on record as well. But.... the bit in between was lovely!! No rain, mild days and good medium crop levels stood the vintage in good stead as long as you finished early. Lovely deep dark colour. Intense black fruits with a little smoky oak influence showing through. Very lifted with perhaps a faint camphor/methanol note but not intrusive. As expected of the 2008 vintage a classic rich and firm structure for the long term.
