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.
