Fruit for this wine is sourced exclusively from Block 10 in our Chapman Brook Vineyard, located 16km inland from the Indian Ocean and surrounded by its namesake; the Chapman Brook. Block 10 was planted in 1993 and has a northern facing aspect, it is a proven performer both in the vineyard and winery. This site is well suited to aromatic white varieties due to a high diurnal temperature range and undulating topography, with soils that are predominantly sandy duplex with some sections holding
ironstone gravel. During the season our focus is to ensure good canopy growth while allowing air flow and sunlight in. This naturally reduces disease risk and encourages good fruit set in early summer. Vintage 2024 will be remembered as the season with barely any rain across the entire growing period and one of the region’s earliest starts to harvest. The fruit quality was excellent and the marri blossom abundant – which kept the birds at bay! Our aim is to produce a unique wine that showcases a specific expression of site, with vibrant acidity, depth of flavour and purity of fruit.
