About this Wine

Our 27 year old Cabernet vines are located on the warmer northwestern slope of Denton View Hill—Block 2—starting near the top at around 140 meters elevation, with long, sweeping rows that stretch all the way down to the dam at the bottom, finishing at 105 meters.

We picked the fruit in the first week of April, giving a corner of each one-tonne fermenter the classic foot-stomp treatment before sealing it up for some carbonic maceration magic. After 11 days, we destemmed the fruit into a large stainless-steel fermenter to finish, with gentle pump-overs twice daily for another two weeks. From there, it was pressed off skins into a mix of old puncheons and stainless steel, quietly evolved until bottling in early December. – Winemaker's note

The 2024 growing season kept us on our toes. It began with a very wet start, as December and early January brought record rainfall - meaning disease pressure was high. Then a dramatic shift: February and March turned into the driest on record, characterised by warm, dry days that compressed the ripening period. Luckily, the nights stayed relatively cool, preserving natural acidity and balance - a great pay off for an intense harvest period!

Yarra Valley Wine

The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.

Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.

Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.

Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
