December, January and February brought consistent dry and warm conditions which saw vine development catch up nicely. March brought three small rain incidents, the most significant of which occurred post white harvest. Cool evenings and moderate day temperatures with afternoon sea breezes were ideal for gentle, consistent tannin ripening in the vineyards red grapes. Yields showed excellent balance, reflecting vine health and minimal intervention.
Bright blood plum and blackcurrant aromas are layered with graphite, dried winter herbs, violets and spicy charcuterie. Subtle savoury notes of mushroom and Mexican chocolate add complexity to the blend. The palate is soft and fresh, revealing bright fruit and a dusty tannin build. An elegant yet juicy acidity carries fresh blackcurrant with a hint of native potpourri lingering over a solid tannin base.
