Appearance: Vibrant ruby red.
Aroma: Nose of cherry liqueur, red plum, rose petal and baking spices. A hint of forest floor and savoury oak.
Palate: The palate is supple and textural with silky tannins, warming spice, and a core of ripe red fruits. A more masculine pinot noir given the warm season.
-
Fruit was hand picked with 20% whole bunch portion layered at the base of the fermenters to provide for partial carbonic maceration. A 5-7 day cold soak preceded fermentation, hand pigaeged twice daily to extract softer tannins, and pressed off when dry to French Oak (20% new) barrels from Tremaux and Dargaud & Jaegle for 10 months.

Vintage 2024 occurred four weeks earlier than usual, brought on by warmer than average temperatures in late September and October that accelerated budburst, early season growth to flowering, and condensed the growing season. Warm and dry daytime conditions during February and March then ensured rapid sugar and flavour accumulation in the lead up to the harvest. There were some early season viticultural challenges, with isolated occurrences of frost in late October that resulted in some crop loss. There were also some late season challenges with some heat spikes above 40°C in late January and early February that caused sun damage in some blocks of Riesling and Chardonnay. Yield was down about 20-30% in affected blocks. Overall, red varieties (most notably Shiraz & Cabernet) will perform very strongly and for whites, early picking ensured a balanced, natural acidity producing high quality wines.
