Winemaking 

Vintage 2024 started with a cool weather pattern, which brought a significant frost, damaging several subregions. This weather continued from bud burst to flowering, extending the flowering period, which caused poor fruit set across most varieties and decreasing the total yield significantly. Post flowering, Marlborough’strademark sunshine returned. The summer was consistently hot, dry, and windy-removing disease pressure,while fruit development progressed rapidly. As a result, harvest started almost 14 days early. The near-perfect conditions during this period ensured full physiological ripeness, while some cooler evening conditions during harvest ensured that acidity was kept in balance in our fruit. This must be one of the best vintages this region has ever seen! Selected parcels of Pinot Noir were harvested and allowed to sit on skins for two hours, before being gently pressed. The deeper colour in the 2024 vintage is a result of the smaller crops on our Pinot Noir vines, and the higher skin to juice ratio.The juice was cool fermented in stainless steel to capture all the vibrant fruit flavours and aroma.
