The 2020 vintage in Margaret River was a real treat for viticulturists. Beginning in January, harvest was one of the earliest on record due to the lower yields and warm, dry weather. Low disease pressure, timely flowering of native marri trees to keep the birds at bay and little to no rain meant that growers could literally “take their pick” as required. Rainfall resumed in March but overall, a warmer than usual summer with plenty of heat accumulation across the season.

An earthy porcini and wild mushroom risotto. Roast venison loin with pumpkin & Sichuan salt. Pan fried haloumi with blood plums.
