Region and Vintage Conditions

The 2024 vintage in South Australia experienced warm growing conditions with cool evenings, allowing the grapes to achieve full ripeness while retaining balance and structure. These conditions contributed to rich fruit development and consistent quality.

Source

Fruit is sourced from certified organic vineyards where sustainable practices support vine health and soil vitality. Low-yielding vines produce grapes with concentrated flavour and strong varietal expression.
