DESCRIPTION Coonawarra’s 2012 vintage was excellent with above-average summer temperatures and below-average rainfall for the year. This contributed to earlier ripening and lower yields. Warm and dry conditions leading up to harvest were conducive to one of the earliest vintages on record. Prodigy is crafted from small parcels of grapes harvested from sites that have consistently produced fruit with outstanding depth of fruit flavour, excellent colour and firm tannin structures. Oak maturation: 25 months in small 225L barriques of which 21% were new French oak, 27% new American and 22% older French barriques.
