About The Wine
The wine shows bright red and black cherries, strawberries, rhubarb and spice with juicy fruit and a fleshy palate. Very fine tannins with bunchy, crunchy vibrancy to it.
2024 was two vintages in one: incredibly wet in December and January, and spectacularly warm and dry in February. The wet growing season translated into good soil moisture and lush, healthy vine canopies. Careful management by our dedicated vineyard crew set the vines up to speed through ripening when the sun finally came out. The wines produced show great purity of fruit, high natural acidity and attractive perfume.
About Punt Road
Jarrod Johnson heads a dynamic, progressive young winemaking team at this James Halliday five star-rated winery.
Punt Road Wines stands on historic Yarra Valley land where Swiss immigrant Hubert De Castella first planted vines in 1860, creating wines that gained acclaim across Australia and Europe. This same Coldstream property later became home to the legendary St Hubert's vineyard before the Napoleone family acquired it in 1978.
The Napoleone story began when Joseph migrated from Italy in 1926, eventually reuniting with his family to start as Yarra Valley orchardists in 1948. Today, the third and fourth generations operate 58 hectares of vines alongside heritage apple and pear trees, crafting Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other varietals that honor both the site's remarkable history and the family's enduring commitment to the land.
