Description

"A typical start to the season with a moderately dry, mild winter and spring, with budburst underway in the first week of October, and only a few minor frost events occurring after that. Flowering occurred in early to mid-December during a period of changeable conditions which managed to temper yields. December settled into dry warm weather creating exceptional growing conditions into late autumn. The absence of rain with only 32mm falling over summer, broke the drought record which has stood for the last 94 years. Idyllic high sunshine hours, and classic cool overnight temperatures in Autumn ensured acidity levels were preserved and the fruit retained freshness. A vintage to remember. Hand picked and whole bunch pressing of fruit prior to cold settling then fermentation. 85% of this wine is fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 4 months in stainless steel tanks then bottled without fining. Pure and bright perfume with an array of citrus covering grapefruit, lemon, lime and mandarin. Subtle gravelly tones help to weave another layer of complexity around the fruit. Juicy and fresh upfront, the riper fruit spectrum of stone fruit opens and offers an intense generosity of flavour. It follows through the mid-palate with a refreshing and quenching finish of crystalline acidity" - Winemaker Notes

"An absolute stand-out wine from the 2024 vintage, this has all of the telltale Dog Point flinty reduction which seems to mark all of their wines. This is made from Dog Point’s organic parcels and is a wine which has a good track record of ageing in the mid-term. Distinctive reduction on the nose leads to quite a structured palate with layered complexity over a ripe core of apple. Young, tight and with very good concentration, this is classic, displaying lovely balance and length on the pure, precise finish where a touch of minerality emerges." - 94 Points, Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
