The 2025 season got off to an excellent start, with a warm, dry spring, little frost pressure and ideal conditions for flowering and fruit set. A long, hot and exceptionally dry summer followed, bringing plenty of sunshine and low disease pressure across the vineyards. Ripening came remarkably early, with harvest beginning around two weeks ahead of a typical year and grapes arriving with excellent concentration, flavour and natural sugars. The dry conditions meant yields were somewhat lower, but the quality of the fruit was exceptional, with bright, balanced acidity, ripe fruit character and plenty of depth.
