WINE EXPERIENCES
Vintage 2024 near conclusion!
Amidst the hustle and bustle of our vineyard, we've been hard at work picking our precious grapes. This year's harvest has been nothing short of exceptional, with smaller bunches, intensified flavours, and alluring aromas promising wines of exquisite quality. Our journey through this early vintage has been filled with the excitement of wine enthusiasts from across the globe joining us in our bustling estate. We owe a huge thanks to our dedicated volunteers and wine aficionados for their unwavering support, helping us complete the lion's share of our harvest. Thank you!
