VINTAGE
The 2025 season stands among Victoria's best this century. Calm dry weather during flowering delivered ample fruit set, a rare treat compared to that of recent years. Summer then brought ideal conditions: moderate rain, no extreme heat, and steady ripening that preserved acidity, built structure, and intensified flavour. A truly exceptional vintage for whites and reds alike.
WINEMAKING
The grapes were harvested in the cool of the morning and quickly transported to the winery where the juice was gently extracted using an airbag press. It was then chilled to 8C and settled for 24 hours before racking to a combination of stainless steel tanks and recently used oak barrels for fermentation. Following the 3 week fermentation process the wine was rested on lees in the same tanks and barrels for roughly 8 months before being racked and clarified in readiness for bottling in January 2026.
