Vintage Notes:
The 2024 vintage was one of the earliest on record for Delamere, benefiting from a particularly cold site ideal for sparkling wines but also producing bright, fresh still wines.

Despite the warmer conditions, the fruit retained excellent natural acidity, resulting in wines with lively brightness and vibrant flavours. The crop levels were near perfect after several low-yielding years, allowing for generous, bright fruit expression.

Situated in Tasmania’s cool Pipers River region, Delamere’s vineyards benefit from moderate rainfall and a maritime climate, contributing to the wine’s fresh acidity and refined structure. The combination of site-specific climate and careful canopy management helps produce grapes with balanced ripeness and vibrant fruit.

Winemaking Notes:
Grapes are handpicked and undergo wild yeast fermentation, with 30% whole bunch inclusion to add aromatic complexity and structure. The winemaking process reflects Tasmania’s adventurous spirit, aiming to craft wines that are both expressive and elegant, with a focus on showcasing the vineyard’s natural qualities.
