    Vineyards and Winemaking

    The 2026 growing season experienced a warm start during Spring flowering, helping to naturally moderate crop for higher wine quality later. The climate then led into a hot dry summer with low disease pressure and even ripening. To decrease the stress on the vines the decision was made to select some sites to optimise Rose production. Fruit condition along with flavour and balance meant healthy fruit was able to be harvested early, starting on 3rd March through to 12th March 2026 with an average brix of 21.

    This appealing wine was crafted in a fruit-forward style achieved through vinification in stainless steel tanks, along with a slow cool fermentation. Inoculated with yeasts specially selected to bring out the luscious intensity of this aromatic variety, the wine was lightly fined, and progressed through to cold stabilisation, before bottling under screwcap on 4th November 2026.
