The 2025 vintage in Margaret River was a beautifully moderate season, shaped by precision and patient harvest timing. After a delayed onset of winter rains, August saw record rainfall, followed by a dry spring and summer. Average growing season temperatures aligned closely with 2021 and 2022, creating healthy conditions. Although the effects of the previous vintage’s early, dry conditions were evident, with some vines showing uneven growth and reduced vigour. White harvest commenced on 6 February, spanning four weeks. Precision was key, as patience allowed the fruit to achieve balance in flavour, acidity, and sugar. Red harvest commenced on 11 March with ideal autumnal conditions – cool nights and warm, sunny days, creating an ideal environment for the final stages of ripening and hand-picking our Cabernet. Yields met or exceeded expectations and fruit quality was outstanding across all sites.
