2025 vintage will go down in history as one of the greatest. Warm, dry conditions produced wines with remarkable concentration of flavour, dark colour and deeply scented aromatics. The warm ripening period enabled full tannin ripeness, and therefore this purple haze release is immediately approachable.

Crushed and destemmed to an open top fermenter, where cooling was employed throughout the fermentation between 18-28oC. There was two pump overs and one hand plunge every day to optimise flavour, colour and tannin extraction. After 7 days of primary fermentation, the fermented wine was then gently Basket Pressed to a settling tank for 2 days, where it was then racked to stainless tank for 6 months. Racked again just prior to bottling. No filtration. Some sediment may remain.
