Vintages
Read an overview of each of the vintages. These reviews are written as the wines are being made and give an insight into the highlights of each new vintage.

2003 Vintage

The 2003 vintage was very similar to 2002 but with a bit of heat during the early harvest period which resulted in wines with a bit more structure and riper fruit flavours compared with those of 2002.
 
2002 Vintage
The 2002 vintage was a dry, cool long vintage. Like the 2000 vintage if the vinyard was carrying large crops, they had ripening problems. At Picardy all of the varieties naturally yielded very low. In the case of the Chardonnay 0.6 tonnes per acre.
 
2001 Vintage

The 2001 vintage in South West Western Australia was one of the best ever. The summer was long, cool and dry, leading to perfect ripening conditions and superb quality fruit at harvest. The Pannell Family felt that they were very fortunate having such a great vintage in 1999 but even this was surpassed by the 2001 vintage. The 2000 vintage was also excellent on account of very small yields.
 
2000 Vintage
The 2000 vintage was a long cool low yielding vintage. Vineyards with large crops had ripening problems. At Picardy all of our varieties were very low yielding.
 
1999 Vintage
The 1999 vintage had moderate temperatures and a long dry season. It made wines with magnificent structure.
