- Vineyard Notes
The 2024 vintage in the Hunter Valley unfolded under warm, largely settled conditions that encouraged an earlier, more condensed harvest and clean fruit intake across the region. Whites show immediacy and brightness, with lively citrus, clear fruit definition and refreshing natural acidity, making them highly expressive in youth. Reds are vibrant and fruit driven, offering good colour, supple tannins and balance rather than overt weight. While yields varied depending on site and timing, overall quality is strong, with 2024 producing confident, approachable wines that capture a fresh, modern expression of the Hunter Valley.
