THE VARIETY
Garnacha Blanca (Grenache Blanc) originated in north-eastern Spain, likely in Aragon, as a white mutation of Garnacha Tinta, one of Spain's most widely planted red varieties. It later spread to Catalonia, where it is now extensively grown, and also gained a foothold in southern France, commonly featured in blends like white Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The variety yields full-bodied, aromatic wines with moderate acidity, showcasing notes of stone fruit, herbs, and a subtle nuttiness with age or oak influence.
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
Grapes were whole bunch pressed and settled in stainless steel for 24 hours before being racked to a mix of barriques, puncheons, and stainless steel for fermentation, using a yeast strain selected to enhance the wine's texture and aromatics. Sulphur was added to prevent malolactic fermentation, and the wine was aged in barrel for eight months before blending. It then spent a further three months in stainless steel prior to bottling.
