Tasting Notes
Aroma
Blueberry fruits combine with blackcurrant and cassis fruit.
Ripe dark fruits and lifted floral notes, with classic bay leaf,
cocoa and cedary spice.
Maturation
12 months.
Appearance
Bright purple.
Palate
Flavours of blue fruit, blackcurrant, chocolate, and cassis
balanced with ripe juicy tannins. Forward fruit, it retains
freshness while the gentle use of oak gives added density to
create a layered and complex wine.
Vinification
Houghton and 191 clones were used in this wine, both from the
high-density planting at our Kyella Vineyard in Wilyabrup. A
small amount of Malbec and Petit Verdot was added for colour
structure and perfume. The fruit was destemmed to static
fermenters; some batches were cold soaked for added fruit
richness without the presence of alcohol. The wines were
pumped over twice a day at the start of ferment, then reduced
once extraction was met. The wine completed Malolactic
Fermentation in tank and matured for 12 months in French oak
barriques, 25% of which was new. No fining was used.
Cellaring Potential
10+ years.
Vintage Notes
2024 was a very early season and characterised by consistently
warm weather and no rainfall whatsoever. This meant that
water was a critical resource and consideration during vintage
to ensure the vines remained healthy and vibrant but also
placed great importance on harvest timing. However, there were
some cool nights, and a key consideration is the grapes spent
less time and less nights on the vine ripening. This resulted in
amazingly bright and fresh acid across aromatic white varieties
and chardonnay. Marri blossom was in abundance for most of
the season which meant minimal bird pressure was noted.
Food Matching
Perfect with lamb chops with rosemary and garlic.
