Description
VITICULTURE
Four vineyard blocks spread across Central Rapaura and the Southern Valleys were picked separately. The mild and dry growing season gave naturally low yields with small berries. In combination with a perfect, dry ripening period, the Pinot noir from 2024 had intense colour and flavour, promising exceptional things for the resulting wine.
VINIFICATION
With a talented and enthusiastic team of international superstars in the winery, this harvest provided an opportunity to showcase the very best flavours of an exceptional vintage.
Picked in the cool of the morning, the ripe, concentrated grapes were fermented in small open top fermenters and plunged gently by hand. After pressing the wine rested in French oak barrels for 10 months. After selecting the best barrels the wine was blended and bottled just prior to the 2025 harvest.
