Harvest

The 2024 vintage featured an extended warm and dry period following reasonable winter rains and an early bud burst. The season experienced warmer-than-usual temperatures, promoting even and early ripening. Harvesting commenced early and finished before Easter. The white varieties were picked with great ripeness, fruit flavour, and vibrant acidity.

Winemaking

Each batch was de-stemmed and pressed to tank immediately upon arrival to the winery. After settling to clarify the juice, parcels were racked and then inoculated with selected yeast cultures for alcoholic fermentation which generally lasted 10-14days. A portion of Semillon was fermented in old French oak to add a structural element to the palate of the wine.
