VINTAGE 2020
The 2020 Australian summer was the hottest on record. All Australian wine regions were effected, some greater than others. The Mount Barker region was no exception with significant temperature variations against the long term average. The months of November, December and February had the greatest variation. This advanced vine development, condensing the growing season and forwarding the commencement of vintage to be 4 weeks early than the norm. The hot day time temperatures reduced berry expansion, producing fruit with depth of flavour and colour intensity. This vintage was strong in quality although perhaps not a reflection of the regional terroir.
WINEMAKING
Fruit was machine harvested at night when coolest and transferred to the winery to be immediately destemmed and crushed into the press, thus preserving freshness. The must was gently pressed to tank with a careful press cut made separating free run and pressings. The separated clear juice racked to tank for a cool fermentation with an inoculated yeast strain. The wine was fermented to complete dryness, then racked from its lees and blended before fining, stabilisation and early bottling to preserve freshness.

Fruit from Mount Barker. This is powder fine and racy with concentrated fruit power. Quite an astoundingly beautiful and pure wine of poise, line and length. - Erin Larkin

Winery Profile
Plantagenet takes its name not only from its home, but also from its heritage. In 1968 in a stroke of serendipity English migrant Tony Smith, himself a descendent of the Plantagenet's, invested his small inheritance in a farm called Bouverie in Western Australia’s Plantagenet Shire.
He first planted Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon followed by Riesling three years later.
The first wines from these young vines were tight and lean and showed the elegant spice and fruit characters for which this area was to become known.
