In 1871 Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell proposed a thought experiment, that involved a hypothetical creature acting as a gatekeeper between two compartments to sort gas molecules according to their speed. At first glance, such a system could potentially create energy from nothing… theoretically impossible given the laws of physics. This hypothetical gatekeeper became known to physicists as Maxwell’s Little Demon and has stirred debate in the science community for more than a century. Made with 56% Grenache, 38% Shiraz, and 6% Mourvèdre. McLaren Vale’s 2019 vintage was low yielding but of a very high quality. A very dry winter and a cool spring resulted in poor budburst and flowering around October. In December we experienced amazing gusts of wind, which damaged some of the newly formed bunches. Then followed a heat wave which continued to reduce the crop levels. Lower yields have the benefit of increasing color density and structure, so although the tones are less than most previous years, the quality is very good.
