DOWNLOAD TASTING NOTES

Tasting Notes
COLOUR Pale salmon pink. NOSE An enticing and lifted bouquet of strawberries and cream, fresh rose petals and watermelon, with subtle undertones of musk and citrus zest. PALATE The palate is refreshing, light, and beautifully balanced, with notes of red berries and a succulent core. Smooth, soft acidity provides a rounded texture, complemented by a slightly salty, crunchy, mineral dry finish with a very light sensation of sweet fruit.
Winemaker Notes
Shiraz is picked earlier at lower baume to help retain some acid and deliver freshness & fruit purity. Oxidatively handled as juice and then fermented under cool conditions using specially selected organic yeast to produce a wine with a textural and savoury complexity. No oak was used in this wine to preserve the primary fruit purity.

Vintage Notes
2024


The 2024 vintage was early and fast-paced. An early spring, the warmest in memory, saw below-average rainfall, leading to early flowering, veraison, and fantastic growing conditions for the canopies. Summer brought no rainfall and sustained warmth, with no extremes, ensuring most fruit ripened without damage.

Harvest began in mid-January with Wilyabrup Chardonnay, displaying great balance and flavour. Sauvignon Blanc followed, with slightly lower yields but ripe fruit flavours. The warm conditions led to an earlier-than-expected red harvest. The Cabernet showed beautifully ripe fruit flavours, firm tannins, and great concentration. While red yields were slightly lower, vine health remained excellent. The Marri blossom was phenomenal this year, keeping bird pressure to almost zero.

Despite the early start and warm, consistent conditions, the fruit quality is beyond expectations.

    Roses from this hot vintage seemed to have come up pretty well. This is such a case. It’s light-bodied and delightfully scented with rose petal and strawberry notes. The palate is light but with excellent texture. It finishes dry and crisp with a slightly savoury character.

    Made from shiraz picked early for freshness and acid retention, this is bang-on. A pale coppery-pink, really zesty and refreshing, with some Bravo apple crunch and flavour, yet it has a neat slip of creamy texture. Summer wine sorted.

    Made from entirely shiraz fruit. A delicate cherry blossom pink hue in the glass. The wine opens with donut peach skin, pomegranate hull and scoops of strawberry ice cream. There is a depth to the floral and red fruited fragrance, that is demonstrating that this wine was made with intention. Fleshy orchard fruit continues to open on the palate with macaron almond cookies. This doesn't finish curt and sour like some pink wines do, instead it’s got some muscle to it, deliberate Shiraz flavour. It finishes dry and succulent. Drinking very well now and would be a fitting wine for scallop and chorizo butter.
