MD Rose 2024

Cooler and windier conditions during Spring meant lower crop levels, keeping fruit thinning to a minimum. The weather gods then handed us the opposite during Summer, with a warm and settled state prevailing, so this smaller crop was able to mature beautifully. Autumn was similarly favourable, allowing each variety to be picked at its optimum ripeness. Our 2024 harvest saw smaller yields across the board, but as a result we were blessed with intense fruit flavour and concentration, delivering some outstanding wines.

It has a playful pink gloss, with penetrating aromas of watermelon, kumquat, strawberry and pear drops, meshed with floral notes reminiscent of citrus blossom, frangipani and peony. The mouthfeel is lively and energised, showcasing impressive palate weight and well assimilated acidity that adds length and concentration. The complementary varieties ensure the wine remains fleshy and supple, while also adding aroma and structure.
