Season
2025 was the driest growing season on record in the Adelaide Hills. This led to slightly lower yields and a very early start to the vintage. We avoided severe heat waves, but it was our quintessential cool Adelaide Hills nights that allowed the fruit to develop beautiful flavour and hold onto its natural acidity.
Vinification
The free run juice was fermented in stainless steel, with a small portion of pressings fermented in barrel adding texture and weight. Bottled early to retain freshness and vibrancy

The lightest of blushes with a scent that raises images of quince, apple, dusty lemon, pear and spice. This is textbook Gris. It’s also textbook cool climate in style with a zingy acid freshness coupled to a smooth middle palate texture that brings an extra layer of umami and interest, guiding the wine to a sustained finish. This is a wine that relies on the quality of its fruit with just a simple cool fermentation in stainless steel. The palate tells the story in ginger and spice, quince paste and baked quince, apple and citrus with a lemon pastille brightness. And, what’s more, it’s all set to be enjoyed right now.

Lifted notes of pear drops and mandarins make way for a cushioned core. This offers texture and a feeling of lightness on the savoury core, which beckons you back for a second glasses.
