Bright, fresh & seriously easy to drink. Estate young vines grown in loam over clay in the Willunga foothills. Certified organic & biodynamic.

The lead up to the 2024 vintage progressed with distinct weather changes and challenges. The growing season began with dry spells and cool nights contrasted by warm days. Spring brought high winds during flowering, affecting crop levels. Significant summer rains arrived in December and January, leading to a notably dry vintage. A heatwave in March, with four consecutive days above 37 degrees Celsius, added further intensity to the season. Despite these trials, the lighter crop ultimately allowed us to carefully manage our fruit intake, proving to be a blessing in disguise.

100% estate-grown certified organic and biodynamic fruit from the Willunga foothills. Hand-picked with approximately 15% whole bunch fermentation. Fermented with indigenous yeast and no additions with the exception of sulphur. Malolactic fermentation and remaining élevage took place in stainless steel.
