Growing Conditions

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, producing fruit with great ripeness, intense flavour, and vibrant acidity.

Winemaking

Tempranillo fruit was cold pressed and juice removed off skins in a flash. Barrel-fermented in old oak puncheons. Remained on lees for five months with regular bâtonnage. Bottled young for early release.
