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.
VINEYARD
Fruit for this wine comes from our sustainability farmed Home Vineyard that has over time produced consistently excellent, award winning wines.
WINEMAKING
Each clone was hand harvested and chilled to 8°C before being destemmed into small open fermenters. The must was cold soaked under CO2 for five days to enhance aromatics, tannin, and colour. Once at ambient temperature, wild yeast initiated fermentation. After ferment, the grapes were pressed and the wine briefly settled before being racked to a mix of new and seasoned tight-grain, light-toast French barriques and puncheons. Following natural malolactic fermentation and 11 months in barrel, the clones were blended, racked, and bottled without fining.
