The Vintage

The 2023 vintage saw a very wet and cool summer. Disease pressure was extremely high. With careful maintenance we managed to avoid some of the impacts of disease. Parts of the vineyards ended up very waterlogged and drainage had to be dug in the worse areas. The cooler weather made for a late vintage and the yields were affected by all the rain with low yields for 2023. The fruit quality remained up to our high standards with excellent flavoursome grapes produced.

Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon

The nose of the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc/ Semillon shows citrus zest and kiwifruit. The fruit notes follow on combining with crisp acid and minerality creating good length and a well-rounded palate.

Gamay

The nose of the 2023 Gamay displays dark spiced cherries with red currant and cranberry notes. The fruit aromas follow onto the palate combining with earthy tannins and balanced acid creating an extremely well-rounded wine, finishing with good length. Drinking well now, or will also benefit with cellar time.

Chardonnay

The nose of the 2023 Chardonnay shows subtle hints of honeydew melon and white peach with a touch of oatmeal. These follow through to the palate, combining with intergrated oak, balanced acid and mineral undertones. This wine has richness with anticipation, and is multi-faceted creating a satisfying finish.
