in the vineyard : Soil Type: Glenrosa and Malmesbury shales.

Average yield: 8 tonnes per hectare

Age of vines: 14 years

Irrigation: Combination of dryland (natural rainfall), and irrigated vineyards

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: March 2024

Grape sugar: 24° Balling

in the cellar : Method: The grapes were harvested in the early morning. 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
