Vintage Notes 
“2010 was a warmer than average vintage in the Yarra Valley. The season started with good fruit set but unlike the previous years of drought there were occasional rain events that kept soil moisture relatively high throughout the season. Overall conditions were warm but the region managed to avoid the extreme heat experienced in 2009.

Harvest started 2 to 3 weeks early than normal with all varieties showing good flavour development and solid yields.” Rob Dolan - Winemaker
