The 2025 season brought another cool and late vintage.  Low yields produced intense wines with impeccable balance and persistence. The Pinot Gris is planted in Block 2, in a section of the vineyard on sandy clay loam soils, with iron shot stone and light medium clay. The fruit was hand picked on 19 February and whole bunch pressed. The juice was then cold settled and wild fermented with 80% in stainless steel and 20% in old French puncheons (500L). The wine was estate bottled in July 2025.
