After the match Patrick and I headed Heathcote to visit Wild Duck Creek Estate. This was the annual open weekend where mailing list customers can turn up, taste the fruits of David and Liam Anderson's labours and pick up their order.
The 2007 vintage was tiny due to environmental factors. The upside is that the fruit that did manage to get into the bottle is actually quite intense.
As always it was a great experience to taste new release WDC wines and catch up with David and Liam. Having a cellar door that is open only weekend a year seems quite counter productive, but it works very well for WDC.
And apparently the 2009 vintage will see a return to more realistic cropping levels and hence more wine of offer for customers. The 2007 vintage saw allocations slashed for most wines and some wines not even produced.
