in the vineyard : Soil Type: Malmesbury shales, decomposed granite and Glenrosa
Age of vines: 23 years
Average yield: 8 tonnes per hectare
Irrigation: Dryland (natural rainfall)

about the harvest: Vintage: 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.
Picking date: February 2024
Grape sugar: 23-24° Balling

in the cellar : Method: When the grapes entered the cellar, they were gently de-stemmed and sorted to remove any unwanted berries. Cold maceration took place for two days to extract the maximum fruit flavours and intense colour. The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks for seven days with regular pump-overs for five days. Made in a rich and complex wooded style, this wine was matured in 500 litre French oak barrels. After tasting through all the individual lots our winemaking team decides on the final blend, and the wine is prepared for bottling.
Wood maturation: 18 months in barrel. 35% new French oak, and the balance in older barrels.
Bottle maturation: 12 months.
