McLaren Vale, South Australia
McLaren Vale lies nestled between the Mt Lofty Ranges and the rolling white sand beaches of Gulf St Vincent. With its warm Mediterranean climate, relaxed coastal ambience and superb local produce, McLaren Vale is a melting pot of food, wine and the arts: the ultimate epicurean destination. The region is renowned for its soft and velvety Shiraz, with pronounced berry, spice and chocolate flavours.
Vineyards in the McLaren Vale Wine Region were generally more productive, producing higher yields at harvest, compared to recent seasons. Importantly the increase in vine yields was combined with excellent quality which was well received by the region’s winemakers. Overall, the season was average for rainfall, but rain fell primarily early in the growing season. The weather was also warmer than average for both daytime and night-time temperatures. November 2020 was the driest since 1990 and was a definite hard end to Spring. November also proved to have the equal highest average daily maximum temperature for the growing season (27.5°C tied with January). There was mild weather through December. January was slightly hotter but still below average. The temperatures in February were ideal, and ripening was steady which allowed winemakers to pick he fruit at its best.
