CELLARING POTENTIAL
5-10 years.
VINIFICATION
The fruit was harvested from selected high-density plantings at our Kyella Vineyard in Wilyabrup, using Houghton, 337 and 191 Cabernet clones. The fruit was destemmed into static fermenters, with some batches cold-soaked for added complexity. Pump-overs were conducted twice daily early in fermentation, then reduced. The wine completed malolactic fermentation in tank and was matured for 12 months in French oak barriques (30% new). No fining was required.
VINTAGE NOTES
Following the warm, dry 2024 vintage, winter arrived late, with welcome August rainfall replenishing soil moisture and restoring vine health. A strong nutrition programme, irrigation and careful vineyard management supported healthy canopy growth and successful flowering, resulting in average yields across all varieties. The 2025 vintage featured a classic Indian summer, with warm days and cool nights producing vibrant wines of excellent flavour and natural acidity. Limited Marri blossom led to significant bird pressure, as silvereyes and other birds sought food in the vineyards, requiring extensive netting and ongoing management throughout harvest to protect fruit quality.
MATURATION
12 months.
