VINTAGE NOTES

The 2023/2024 growing season was warm and dry, leading to one of the earliest harvests we've had. Our canopy management and irrigation techniques were on point, allowing ample shading of the fruit and achieving slow ripening while retaining natural acidity. Most of the fruit for this parcel comes from a premium vineyard in Karridale, a great sub-region for a warm year. This wine shows excellent fruit purity, with complexity and length. It is made from 100% Gingin clone.
