Vintage Notes

Growing Season

The 2024 growing season was characterized by favorable conditions. A wet winter provided excellent soil moisture for spring budburst. Moderate temperatures and consistent rainfall during spring allowed for even berry set and good yields. Summer saw balanced temperatures with few extreme heat events. These conditions led to a steady ripening period, allowing for optimal flavor development and balanced acidity in the grapes.

Vineyard

Grapes for this blend were selected from three different blocks on the Gaelic Vineyard, each parcel with its own Riesling characters but the underlying flavours were definitively Clare with citrus flavours and mineral tones.

Winemaking

The grapes were harvested on February 16th, 2024. The juice was fermented in stainless steel at 14 degrees Celsius to preserve purity of fruit.
