After a long and late 2023 vintage, 2024 vintage proved to be quite the opposite. Winter was 28 per cent below average rains and spring was even drier with only 48 per cent of average. The dry winter and spring made the vines work during the early part of the growing season, and bud burst started three weeks earlier than the year before.

With some rain, and slightly cooler than average days, December and early January saw vines flourish. Veraison in many vineyards was a month earlier than 2023. January finished with average temperatures, but in February, with no rain and the temperature 2°C above average, vines ripened quickly, and harvest was away.

In 2024, quality across the board looks exceptional from all the Tscharke Estate Vineyards.
