Fleurieu Zone WINEGRAPE UTILISATION AND PRICING SURVEY 2005 63 Fleurieu zone (other) 64 FLEURIEU ZONE (OTHER) VINTAGE OVERVIEW The long dry and mild finish to the ripening season created an ideal environment for the development of intense colour and flavours. The Fleurieu zone (other) includes the GI regions Southern Fleurieu, Currency Creek and Harvest began two weeks earlier than 2004 with crops being slightly above average across Kangaroo Island, as well as any other plantings in the zone that are outside the major regions all white varieties. Continued favourable ripening conditions through February and March of McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek. Because of the small size of the GI regions, they meant that there was no rest between whites and reds, with all red varieties ripening two to are not reported separately. However, tonnage and forecast data are available for these three weeks earlier than the previous vintage. Crop yields in Cabernet Sauvignon were the regions on request from the Board. most affected by a less than average set while Merlot was slightly above average in yield. All other red varieties produced average yields. Vintage report - Currency Creek Early indications are that 2005 has the hallmarks of a great vintage. Intense flavour and It was a near perfect growing season in Currency Creek. There were soaking spring rains colour in the reds and an abundance of fruit balanced with natural acidity in the whites. though October to November and soil moisture levels were adequate right up until the David Watkins beginning of December. Fruit set in the red varieties was affected by the cooler conditions. Currency Creek Wine Region Association From December through to February mild conditions were experienced, with none of the heat spikes of the previous season. There was little disease pressure throughout the season except for one small rain event in February, which did not cause concern. Overview of vintage statistics The Fleurieu zone (other) produced 9,980 tonnes in 2005 – compared with 10,426 in Glenelg 2004. 81% of the crush was in red varieties – compared with 61% statewide. The average purchase value for Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon dropped by more than $200 per tonne, with Chardonnay down by nearly $400 per tonne. This, combined with the 5% drop in production, resulted in total income to growers being reduced by 30%, while the total value of grapes to the region decreased from $12 million in 2004 to $9.5 million. The forecast is for intake to remain at around 11,000 tonnes over the next five years, with the wineries’ preferred intake being less than the estimated intake in each year. Chardonnay intake is expected to increase from around 1,500 tonnes in 2006 to over GULF ST. VINCENT Strathalbyn Willunga 2,000 tonnes in 2010 – an increase of around 33% in the five year forecast period. The other major varieties, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, are both expected to decline over the same timeframe. There has been a significant amount of new planting in this area in 2004,with both Currency Creek and the areas east of Southern Fleurieu and Currency Creek Carrickalinga (surrounding Langhorne Creek – see map on page 64) showing the most growth. There was a 10% rate of new plantings in Currency Creek – mainly in Cabernet Sauvignon. This is against the trend for most of South Australia in 2004, which was only around CURRENCY CREEK 2% new plantings. Goolwa SOUTHERN FLEURIEU Rapid Bay Based on the current vineyard area in the Fleurieu zone (other), and using estimated Victor Harbour 0 5 10 15 20 Kilometres yield figures of 9 t/ha for reds and 10t/ha for whites, the estimated production in 2008 is around 13,500 tonnes. This is around 4,000 tonnes (31%) higher than the Registered Vineyard Cape Jervis GI Region preferred intake for that year. Most of the surplus is in Cabernet Sauvignon (1500t) Fluerieu Zone (excluding KI) and Chardonnay (900t), while Shiraz is expected to be in balance.

The total estimated value of winegrapes from Fleurieu other in 2020 was $3.2 million compared with $3.3 million in 2019 – a 5 per cent decrease. The decrease in production was partly offset by an overall increase in the average purchase value of grapes, which increased by 11 per cent from $976 in 2019 to $1081 per tonne. There were increases in average prices for the three largest varieties: Shiraz up by 7 per cent to $1249 per tonne, Sauvignon Blanc up 30 per cent to $990 per tonne and Pinot Gris/Grigio up by 17 per cent to $986 per tonne.

  • September 2020
    PREMIUM WINE CLUB September 2020 2019 Big Salt White Blend Oregon Founded by husband-and-wife duo John House and Ksenija Kostic in 2011, Ovum is a celebration of the diverse expressions of Oregon Riesling. After years of learning the intri- cacies of the Willamette Valley while working together at Chehalem, John and Ksenija set off to further investigate the myriad terroirs of Oregon through the lens of Riesling, and now source fruit from throughout the state. They have found sites with blustery Pacific winds, extreme diurnal shifts, and rocky, well-draining soils. To emphasize the idiosyncrasies of these vineyards, all of Ovum’s wines see the same practices in the cellar: natural fermentations, no additions or subtractions except for SO2, extended lees contact of 8-9 months – all in neutral barrels of acacia and oak, as well as Nomblot concrete eggs. The resulting wines are textured and concentrated, driven by minerality, and framed by unwavering acidity. Ovum’s work is among the most compelling white winemaking throughout the Pacific Northwest. Big Salt is a white wine that embodies a day at the beach. It’s bright, fresh, dry and a bit salty (although no salt is added of course!). They allow all of the grapes to ferment togeth- er, with native yeast...rather than making a blend in the laboratory. Fermenting all of these grapes together gives the wine its hallmark lifted aromatics, wild flowers, and racy citrus. Big Salt is a blend of 45% Riesling, 45% Gewurztraminer, 8% Early Muscat, and 2% other white varietals. Nicely textured with floral orange aromas that lead into a saline wine with a mix of cucumber, apple and green melon flavors.
