Tasting Notes
Due to an unusually warm winter, 2024 growing season started 3 weeks earlier than expected. This lead to a busy end of winter for the vineyard team who did a great job getting the vines ready for the season ahead.
The warmer temperatures and reduced but steady rainfall through the growing period was a contrast to V23, these optimal conditions lead to beautiful, high quality grapes. Harvesting commenced at Butcher’s Hill in early March with the House Block Pinot Noirs, and concluded with the Cordon Cut Riesling at Butcher’s Hill. Exceptional quality fruit and no pest or disease presence lead us to expect great things from the 2024 season.
Lime curd, crunchy stone fruits, cumquat, fennel fronds, lemon grass with hints of, cumin, coriander and roasted almond dominate the nose.
The palate is an explosion of pink lady apple, nectarine, white peach, rounded out with notes of honey, freshly torched creme brulee finishing with kaffir lime, candied citrus peel, toasted almond driven by steely acidity.
