The 2024 vintage in Coonawarra is exceptional, marked by a unique set of climatic conditions. An El Niño event led to a warm and dry winter, prompting an early start to the growing season. Despite some late spring frost and unexpected cooler, wetter weather in late spring and early summer, which resulted in low to moderate yields, the strong Bonney Upwelling then brought cooler temperatures in December and early January.
Following the New Year, the weather became warm and dry with cool nights, ideal for ripening. Harvest occurred slightly earlier than usual, in late March and April. The 2024 vintage promises high-quality wines, characterised by firm acidity in whites and intense colours, bold tannins, and deep fruit flavours in reds, indicating excellent aging potential.
Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
