MELBOURNE (Reuters) - South Australian winery owner Clare Anderson said she was "crying into her vines" as her fire-ravaged estate was hit by another bout of intense heat on Friday, robbing the vineyard of a chance to recover.

Anderson said there was little she could do to combat the extreme conditions after fire recently burnt a quarter of the family-owned Anderson Hill vineyard, 30km (20 miles) from the state capital Adelaide.
