The warm November temperatures were ideal for good berry set, necessitating extensive green harvest (thinning) for quality. The grape ripening months of February and March were influenced by a cold water “upwelling” off the coast, but overall, it was a warmer- than-average Coonawarra vintage. We describe our 2016 wines as being at the “fuller” end of our long-term Wynns Coonawarra flavour and style spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e Intense red\/black with great depth and brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure, focused and refined.
