Vintage Notes
For the second consecutive year, the Barossa Valley experienced below-average winter and spring rainfall, with drought conditions persisting throughout the 2024 growing season. Spring and summer were particularly dry, with summer rainfall reaching only 25% of average.
Warmer-than-average temperatures from August onward accelerated vine development, bringing budburst two to three weeks earlier than normal. However, severe frost events in mid-September caused widespread damage, significantly reducing yields in some vineyards. Despite this setback, many vines recovered through fertile secondary shoots. Continued warm conditions through spring and summer hastened ripening, resulting in one of the earliest harvests on record, with most vineyards picked by late March and even the latest sites completed by early April.
In 2025, quality across the Tscharke estate appears very strong. Grenache and Shiraz have emerged as particular highlights. The season once again demonstrated the Barossa’s resilience, producing a vintage well worth celebrating.
Winemaking
Fruit from the three vineyards was picked in March 2025. Each parcel was vinified individually to highlight the amazing structure and characters of each individual vineyard.
All the grapes were destemmed and crushed into open fermenters, where they were fermented at temperatures not exceeding 28C for 14 days. The cap was managed with twice daily pump overs and once dry the wines were bag pressed to tank to complete MLF before being racked to oak.
After twelve weeks of élevage on lees, the components from the three vineyards were racked, blended, and returned to a selection of 3,000L French oak Foudres and 6.6KL French vats. A further 12-month maturation allowed the wine to come together and soften before being racked and filtered. Bottled on 26 August 2026 at the Tscharke property.
