2024 The Hedonist Light Red / grenache

WINEMAKER:Walter Clappis, James Cooter, Kimberly Cooter REGION: MCLAREN VALE, SA VARIETY: Light Red / grenache VITICULTURE: Certified Biodynamic and Organic | The lead up to the 2024 vintage progressed with distinct weather changes and challenges. The growing season began with dry spells and cool nights contrasted by warm days. Spring brought high winds during flowering, affecting crop levels. Significant summer rains arrived in December and January, leading to a notably dry vintage. A heatwave in March, with four consecutive days above 37 degrees Celsius, added further intensity to the season. Despite these trials, the lighter crop ultimately allowed us to carefully manage our fruit intake, proving to be a blessing in disguise.
