The vines stand on a north-facing slope in Bendigo, on Waenga fine sandy loam and Letts Steepland soils interspersed with gravel and quartz, at around 217 to 264 metres altitude. The vines, planted in 1998, were hand-harvested on 9 April 2024. Following whole-bunch pressing and brief, gentle settling, the must fermented spontaneously in French oak casks, 10 per cent of them new, and matured for twelve months on the lees. The wine shows lemon, lime and white flowers, lively acidity, subtle vanilla, fine spice and a mineral finish; the body is creamy and rounded.
