As we approached the final days of an early harvest, this past week has been all about Cabernet, with our Vintage Crew busy hand-picking certified organic fruit from our key Cabernet Sauvignon blocks, including our heritage V9 ‘Old Block’ and U12 ‘North Block.’⁠

Pictured are some highlights from our V9 hand-pick, with the crew kicking off from dawn on a beautifully clear autumn morning. Planted in 1978, these mature vines are naturally low yielding and consistently produce fruit with great concentration and layers of complexity, underpinned by a silky, superfine tannin structure.
