2024 Dancing In The Sun

2024 Dancing In The Sun

This wine represents the fun and joyful side of Biodynamics. A refreshing blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon with a touch of Verdelho, to be enjoyed with good friends while… dancing in the sun.

This wine is a great example of certified biodynamic fruit. Harvested on the fruit and flower days of the biodynamic calendar and fermented without oak, additions of yeast or acid. Some skin contact time before fermentation.

2024 vintage was the hottest, driest and earliest harvest on record. Rainfall turned off like
a tap at the end of September 2023, with nominally no rain until the season broke in May
2024. Unseasonable warmth all through the growing season combined with heatwaves in
January meant harvest started early and was over extremely quickly.
But with sunshine comes flavour and 2024 does not disappoint in fruit weight and concentration.
No rain and plenty of sun means wines hit their optimal ripeness (albeit earlier
than expected!) and created wines with great depth of flavour and extract.
The ample marri blossom and dry conditions meant both bird and disease pressure was
low, the main thing keeping us awake at night was the water stress on our dry grown
vines. Both whites and reds show opulence and power that so far show great promise for
the future.

Tightly structured phenolics and acidity hold
together fresh citrus and tropical fruit notes;
lemon, pink grapefruit, lychee and apples. Elegant
and fresh in style, with a lean and persistent
finish.
