The last five years in the Barossa and Clare Valley have seen fluctuating seasons as the climate swings from La Niña to El Niño. After three cool vintages, 2024 marks an inflection point between the two, bringing warmer and drier weather, but thankfully not extreme conditions — a return to normal programming. Barossa fans will find much to enjoy in 2024, with generously flavoured wines that offer excellent cellaring potential.
