Vinification
Grapes for this wine were specifically selected from sites across the Hunter Valley, including our historic Post Office vineyard, which is located on the red, weathered marlstone soils in the foothills Pokolbin sub-region of the Hunter Valley. The fruit was de-stemmed as whole berries to small open fermenters and cold soaked for 4 days. Fermentation lasted 8 days.

Vintage notes
The 2024 vintage began with an early spring that saw budburst commence ahead of schedule, with the vines then enjoying a long warm and sunny ripening period, with average rainfall. These elements, along with smaller yields combined to deliver one of the earliest vintages in living memory. Near perfect ripening conditions allowed for the development of rich flavours whilst maintaining natural acidity.

Maturation
French oak for 12 months.

PH
