Sweetwater Estate Shiraz Touriga 2023

Sweetwater Estate Shiraz Touriga 2023

After challenging 2021 and 2022 vintages from La Niña weather patterns and significant flooding in the Hunter Valley in July 2022, which resulted from 300mm of rain in four days, vintage 2023 looked like it was going to be another wet and difficult season.

However, the generally sunny conditions continued into February which was fortuitous as Vintage 2023 was one of the latest for many, many years. Harvest gained momentum after Australia Day and was in full swing in the first week of February. The warm and sunny late summer without any heat waves led to an excellent vintage.
