Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This all-natural style of sparkling combines great freshness in a wine that is bright and satisfying. Raspberry and blood orange aromatics are complemented by a juicy acidity and lively fizz making for a perfect summer drink.
It has some cloudy sediment and can get a little friendly when opening so to avoid any spillage serve it ice-cold.
Wine Making
The fruit was picked in the early hours of the morning from different locations in Southern Margaret River. The juice was gently pressed to tank and fermented in stainless steel to highlight freshness above all. The wine was then bottled with 12g/L of residual sugar to develop in bottle just the right amount of fizz to tickle your palate on a warm summer day.
Unfined and unfiltered with no additions of sulphur.
Vintage Report
Vintage 2024 will be remembered as the earliest start of harvest at McHenry Hohnen. After good rainfalls during winter our vines reacted to the excellent moisture levels in the ground and the warm spring conditions by developing healthy canopies earlier in the season.
Summer was characterised by zero rainfalls and above average diurnal temperatures. Veraison was anticipated across the different sites by 2-3 weeks.
The Marri blossom was incredible in 2024 and with birds totally uninterested on our crops and no disease pressure we were able to harvest pristine fruit.
We experienced a very compressed white harvest which kept our winery and vineyard teams extremely busy. The whites show expressive fruit profiles, with texture and generosity but without compromising on freshness.
Yields on the red varietals were lower than expected, however the warm and dry weather created desirable conditions for our reds that showcase good structure, concentration, and vibrancy.
