Majella Riesling 2024
The 2024 vintage in Coonawarra is exceptional, marked by a unique set of climatic conditions. An El Niño event led to a warm and dry winter, prompting an early start to the growing season. Despite some late spring frost and unexpected cooler, wetter weather in late spring and early summer, which resulted in low to moderate yields, the strong Bonney Upwelling then brought cooler temperatures in December and early January.
Following the New Year, the weather became warm and dry with cool nights, ideal for ripening. Harvest occurred slightly earlier than usual, in late March and April. The 2024 vintage promises high-quality wines, characterised by firm acidity in whites and intense colours, bold tannins, and deep fruit flavours in reds, indicating excellent aging potential.
