vintage

2024 saw a return of the El Niño, warmer than average days and cool nights allowed for early budburst and settled flowering giving yields close to long term averages. The growing season experienced very low disease pressure due to the warm and dry conditions. Fruit quality was high with excellent fruit concentration and balanced acidity.

winemaking

Blended from Coal Valley (50%), East Coast (29%) and Tamar Valley (21%). Parcels were fermented at cooler temperatures in stainless steel tank with a variety of selected yeast strains to deliver rich, spicy Pinot Gris characters. To add richness and complexity a small portion was fermented to old French oak, lees stirred and blended back.
