Tasting Notes
Fleshy peach, brioche and spice aromatics with a vibrant juicy palate showing softness, verve and poise.
Vintage Notes
2024 was nice when it needed to be and naughty when it could get away with it. The weather was stable, warm and dry during budburst and flowering.
We made the decision to leave the grapes a little long on the vine to let them experience the cool autumn nights. A fantastic decision it turns out, and we started to pick just before Anzac Day.
As well as drinking well, we are seeing heavily pronounced aromatics on the nose from every 2024 wine so far. Quality and quantity - we more could we ask for?
