in the vineyard : Soil Type: Decomposed granite, sandstone
Average yield: 10 tonnes per hectare
Age of vines: 15 years
Irrigation: Combination of dryland (natural rainfall), and irrigated vineyards.

about the harvest: The 2024 harvest started two weeks earlier than the previous year. However, unforeseen winds during late November and early December resulted in a reduced yield. Despite this, the anticipated quality remains exceptional. Elevated temperatures in early February necessitated an early grape harvest by the team. The grapes were harvested in the early morning
Picking date: February 2024
Grape sugar: 24° Balling

in the cellar : Grapes were de-stemmed and cold maceration was given for two days to extract maximum flavour and colour from the skins. Fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks with regular pump overs for seven days. During malolactic fermentation, French and American oak staves were added to help with the complexity of the wine.
Wood maturation: The wine was aged with wood staves for eight months.
