The 2024 vintage reveals a subtle but elegant nose, opening from initial restraint to delicate notes of winter melon, prickly pear and warm hay. As the wine unfolds, aromas of ginger, honeycomb and warm baking spice reveal themselves. The palate is rich and opulent, with a silky, mouth-coating texture carrying layers of preserved ginger, poached pear, warm honey and sweet spices. The wine is poised and lingering, with a gentle marmalade and citrus pith nuance adding freshness, complexity and finesse to the finish.

Grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning at 23.5 °B, then whole-bunch pressed and the juice allowed to settle for a day before being transferred into 400l French oak barrels and a concrete egg. Natural fermentation takes place over the next 40–60 days with strict temperature control. Once completed, the wine is matured for 10 months with a monthly bâtonnage of the lees. No malolactic fermentation takes place. Matured in tight-grain barrels with a medium toast (12% 1st, 12% 2nd and 12% 3rd fill and 56% older oak), as well as 8% concrete egg.
