- Vintage Notes
The 2023 vintage was defined by mild summer conditions and well-timed rainfall, allowing Shiraz to ripen slowly and evenly. Fruit was harvested with balance in mind, preserving freshness while developing depth of flavour. The resulting wine shows vibrant red and dark berry characters, subtle spice, and supple tannins, finishing with poise and regional restraint.
