2023
“An exploration of the texture and complexity of our oldest block of dry-grown Semillon fruit. The long, benign ripening season of 2023 allowed for extended hang time, ripening phenolics while preserving brisk acidity.”

Vineyard Notes
Despite a cool start to spring, flowering and fruit set were even across all varieties. November heralded the beginning of a glorious run of weather. Days were warm but never hot, and temperatures dropped nicely into the evenings, allowing gradual ripening and acid retention in the grapes. Harvest commenced a week later than ‘normal’ under clear blue skies and finished in mid-April.
