Wineries toast vintage crop

Wine regions across South Australia are trumpeting one of the best vintages for many years. Renowned SA winemaker Robert O’Callaghan describes it as one of the three best vintages in his 42 years in the Barossa Valley. Mr O’Callaghan said the outstanding quality vintage would lead to improved wine sales and higher prices for premium Barossa wines. McLaren Vale has also recorded one of its best vintages in the past 20 years with Serafino Wines chief winemaker Charles Whish likening it to conditions between 1994 and 1996, reports Adelaide Now.
