Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep purple red core with a crimson rim.
Aroma
A lifted, expressive nose of dark red and black fruits, with layers of complexing aromas of pencils, spice markets and rose gardens.

A gently sweet palate of dark berry fruit, lush dark chocolate tannins and subtle waves of speculoos biscuit fan out on a soft, generous palate structure that gives great satisfaction and incredible elegant length.
Notes
Viticulture
A decently wet 2022 ensured a later start to the growing season than average for vintage 2023 with minimal soil moisture pressure. Rainfall during the harvest period presented some challenges in the vineyard but the sloping windy nature of the majority of the Bethany sites ensured that with care and attention and significant disease events were avoided. Yields were average to above average and the balance and quality arising from such a balanced and extended growing period is exceptional. Whites retained lovely natural acid and exciting levels of aromatic intensity and concentration. The reds show exceptional colour, pristine bright fruit and lovely balanced acid and tannin structures.
