Vinification
Hand-picked, whole bunch pressed taking only the fresh free run.
The clear juice was then racked to a stainless-steel tank for a long cool
ferment before being matured on ferment lees until bottling in June.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 vintage is a more classic Yarra season.
A cool start to spring and ideal flowering conditions lead to good fruit set
and moderate yields.
December was cool and mild, with significant rainfall at New Years and
during the first week of January giving the vines a good drink leading into
the heat of February.
Mid to late February was drier and warmer than is common in the Yarra,
leading to great ripening conditions with no disease pressure and a quite
fast vintage.
These Ideal growing conditions has resulted in wines with great acidity,
balance, and flavour.
