2025 Semillon

The wine exhibits ripe blackcurrant fruit with earthy graphite mineral overtones, cradled by exceptionally fine tannins and integrated French oak. A distinct mineral complexity is derived from the rocky granitic soils of the Leeuwin Ridge.

2025 was a welcome relief from the hectic pace of the previously hot and dry vintage, with the growing season offering perfect conditions for all varietals on the estate. Good winter and spring rainfall was followed by a warm, disease-free, and slower ripening period. The result of this was all varietals being harvested very close to the average harvest dates for all varietals on the property, and all in pristine condition.

Hand-harvested in the cool of the early morning on 25 February 2025, the fruit was destemmed, crushed, and gently pressed. Only free-run juice was retained. After flotation clarification, the juice was transferred to seasoned French oak barriques and puncheons for fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine remained in barrel for five months prior to blending, stabilisation, filtration, and bottling in July 2025.
