  • Vintage NotesThe 2024 season began with a mild spring and steady early summer conditions, supporting healthy canopy growth and even fruit set. Warm, dry weather in February and March encouraged extended ripening, allowing the Merlot to develop concentrated flavours and natural sweetness, ideal for crafting a late harvest wine.
