Season
The 2023 season was long and cool. Steady and consistent ripening matched with low crop loads ensured all varieties ripened well with the benefit of good-sized canopies. Mild, cool nights enhanced flavour development. The resulting wines are richly flavoured and high in quality with incredible aromatics.
Vinification
Harvested in the cool of night from two vineyards on our estate, the grapes were crushed, destemmed and pressed taking only the free run juice. Fermented and matured on lees in seasoned French oak for 9 months.

Beautifully fruited and elegantly expressed, the wine shows ripe stone fruit, rockmelon, subtle vanilla and cashew aromas, followed by a delightfully flowing palate that's succulent and supple. Well rounded and structured with a lingering silky finish. At its best: now to 2029
