An evolving wine, with baking spices, toasted almonds, warm butter and fresh pear aromatics. The palate is full with a moreish creaminess, finely balanced texture and a long-lasting, impressive finish.

Fruit was harvested in the dawn light, then lightly crushed and pressed. The juice was taken to tank where only a small amount of sulphur was added to protect the oxygen-rich juice. A day later the juice was racked to a large format oak cuve and several barriques, before a warmer fermentation. The wines were then left on their lees for 10 months prior to blending.

Vintage

The 2023 vintage was late to start due to a wetter weather and cooler temperatures up until December. Fine, warm weather from January through harvest kept fruit pristine and created suitable conditions for extra hangtime on the vine, which provided increased flavour concentration, exceptional varietal purity and laid the groundwork for some brilliant wines.
