Tasting Notes

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.

  • Colour Deep purple, with a compact rim width of inky deep
  • Bouquet Perfumed roses & violets lined with fresh wild berries and prunes finishing with a unique scent of salinity and ironstone.
  • Food Lamb cutlets, Ratatouille and Kalamata olives Caesar salad dressed with truffle oil.
  • Palate Unctuous fruit with fine grained tannin, welcoming notes of rich black- currant and black cherries laced with mediterranean basil & thyme that moves stoic to a velvety cacao and satsuma plums.
