Reflecting on this achievement, our winemaker, Luke O’Cuinneagain, shared:
“It is great to see that we’re getting some recognition early on. That’s due to the dedication of the existing team and the absolutely spectacular site that is coming to the fore, allowing us to forge wines here that are characterful and that hopefully resonate with the public and are liked by the critics because they have a sense of place and are very honest about what they are.”

This recognition celebrates the passion and dedication of our entire team—from the vineyard to the cellar. Your hard work is reflected in every bottle, and we couldn’t be prouder. ❤️
