Vintage Notes

Growing Season

The 2025 growing season in the Clare Valley was marked by a notably dry year, with rainfall significantly below average. This dry weather put the vines under stress, but it resulted in fruit that was concentrated, with intense flavors. The warm days and cool nights helped preserve natural acidity and promote balance in the fruit. Despite the dry conditions, the vines thrived, with the limited water availability intensifying the flavor profiles and tannin development. The fruit produced was of exceptional quality, with great depth and structure. The 2025 season highlights the resilience of the Clare Valley’s vineyards, showcasing the region’s ability to adapt to challenging conditions and produce fruit that reflects the unique terroir of the area

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

Whole-bunch press, cold settle; cool stainless-steel fermentation to preserve aromatics and line. Short lees contact for texture, bottled young.
