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.

Winemaking

The grapes for this wine were machine harvested in the cool, early hours of the morning, transported to the winery to be crushed, chilled and pressed as soon as possible prior to the juice being clarified by cold settling. It was then inoculated with a pure yeast culture, with fermentation carried out in stainless steel temperature controlled tanks for on average 25-30 days. The wine was fined, stabilised then filtered prior to bottling.
