2024 Vintage Notes
Winter rainfall in 2023 was below average, and spring was even drier so we entered the 2024 growing season with thirsty soil profiles. The vines struggled to get going and to add insult to injury were hit with a severe frost on 22 October and further frosts into early November that took out several blocks and ultimately resulted in a total yield of only 50% of expected.
Thankfully there were good rains in November and December, then again in early January that saw the vines pick up and move into their ripening phase. It was dry and mostly cool from then on, and harvest commenced with Riesling on 7 March and finished with Cabernet on 11 April.
Whilst yields were low, mainly owing to the late frosts, quality was exceptional across the board, with Riesling a standout.
