Tasting Notes
Aroma
The aromatics are intense
aromatics of blackberry, mulberry,
and ripe plum, layered with dark
chocolate and a lift of cedar and
spice. Hints of cola and a whisper of
mint add depth and freshness.
Appearance
The 2024 Gnarly Dudes is a deep
strong black with purple hue in
colour.
Palate
The palate opens with a generous wave of dark fruit, plush yet
vibrant, reflecting the low yields and early ripening of the season.
Rich blackberries and boysenberry compote drive through,
supported by savoury undertones of cracked pepper and
charcuterie. Tannins are supple, and woven seamlessly into the
fruit core, lending shape and energy without overwhelming. The
finish is long, pure, and persistent, carrying notes of dark fruits
and spice well beyond the last sip.
Vinification
The parcels of fruit were crushed into and fermented in 3, 5,
7 and 10 tonne open top vessels. Regular pump overs three
times daily were performed during the peak of fermentation. At
pressing, the free run and pressings were combined to tank, then
racked to barrel for oak maturation. The wine was matured for
12 months in French oak, 13% new, and the remainder in one to
six year old puncheons and hogsheads. All batches were kept
separate and blended just prior to bottling.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 vintage in the Barossa stood in stark contrast to the
cool 2023 season. A dry winter, budburst began around three
weeks earlier than the year before, spurred on by warmer
days and lower overnight temperatures. The small berried fruit
developed with concentration and vibrancy. December and
January brought timely rainfalls, giving the vines a boost before
a hot, dry February accelerated ripening. Harvest began early,
with Shiraz showing deep colour, purity of fruit, and fine natural
balance. Overall, 2024 produced outstanding quality a vintage
defined by intensity, freshness, and energy.
