What's in the glass: “Reflecting on the 2023 season still gives me goosebumps, the harvest was spread out nicely over a few weeks in April due to the cooler classic 90s season. Something reminiscent of the 1996 vintage, yet with a difference of vine age on our side. Things were looking very promising with a nice long ripening period to develop great flavour & structure profiles.

This was our third harvest in a row of cooler damper conditions, which certainly did provide its challenges during the growing season, somehow we managed to keep a strict organic program in the vineyard…the weather kept presenting all the challenges it could via La Niña… we were wondering if the sun was going to ever appear. Mid December it did for a few months with some nice mild summer temperatures, dragging out the season to mid April when the weather began to turn cooler & damp again. The vines & the grapes held up unbelievably well with all the pressures of the weather to produce some exceptional wines. It’s been such an exciting journey with these cuveés patiently waiting in the cellar for their release to the world, I can’t wait to share them with you all.” - Owen Latta
