2024 Pack 2
2024 was beautiful vintage for us and we are incredibly excited about this first release of wines. The wines each have lovely varietal distinction and personality, however, a through line between them is stunning texture, freshness, and buoyant energy. Most, if not all, can handle being served somewhere between cellar and refrigerator temperature (15°- 7°).
Blanc - 50/50 sauvignon blanc/pinot blanc from Pook’s Hill vineyard in Totness. 30 y/o vines grown on Black Sandy soil overlying petrified schist, it is V.S.P. Trained and spur pruned. Each variety pressed to 2000L barrels then blended.
“Her golden curls radiate in early morning light, while honeysuckles open to welcome the bumble bees, pollen stained legs hum to the late spring birdsong.”
Le Petit Piccadilly Chardonnay - The 'Cemetery Block' is at the base of the Piccadilly Valley on Alluvial Black Sandy soil, the vines are cane pruned. This farm is run by Jenny and James Griggs who are the 6th generation to farm that block. The fruit is whole bunched pressed and fermented in 680l vitrified ceramic eggs and aged on lees. The wine is only the free run fraction.
“An awkward smile returned, then memories of flower covered meadows in autumn light hold you, a gripping hug evelopes you endlessly until your soul is fulfiled, she smiles.”
Rosé Classique - The Syrah is from Brackenwood in Hope Forrest with young vines on deep red clay. The grapes are whole bunched pressed and aged in a vitrified ceramic egg.
“Rose coloured glasses watch the lapping rhythm on sand, as sails glide on the alluring warm blue. The enjoyment of life is not complicated by the clever conversation of wine, but it flows, warm chatter of friends and laughter in the fading light.”
Rosso - The merlot is grown at the Magpie Springs farm in the Hope Valley. It has sandy soil and is at the top of a hill near the ocean with strong ocean breezes. The Syrah and Sangio is from Brackenwood in the Hope Forest with deep red clay soils. Vines are 25 years old and USSO trained and spur pruned.
“Late spring gives the warmth to the soft dark forrest where the red currents, raspberries and mulberries stain our shirts with tart sweet fragment red juice. An honest wines for pirates, sailors, gauchos, bricklayers and princesses.”
