    • $80.00

    About The Wine

    The nose is complex with candied lime, makrut lime leaf and ripe apricot. Layers of brioche and subtle spice add depth, while a mineral edge reflects its terroir. The palate is rich yet vibrant, with creamy orchard fruits lifted by crisp acidity. A hint of oak brings finesse, leading to a long, chalky finish that lingers with power and precision.

    The Vineyard

    This vineyard is located at Woori Yallock in the upper reaches of the Yarra Valley, the Lusatia Park vineyard sits on an excellent north-facing slope at an almost perfect altitude for this part of Victoria. The vineyard was planted in 1985 and is situated on the much desired red basalt soils that contribute to the extraordinary length that the wines provide.

    The Vintage

    The 2024 growing season in the Baw Baw Shire was exceptional, with plentiful rainfall followed by ideal sunshine, creating the perfect conditions for ripening. Characteristic low yields and mature vines resulted in wines with exceptional concentration, body, and complexity, showcasing vibrant acidity and minerality. Yields were significantly down compared to previous vintages, however the 2024 wines are a standout expression of the Patrick Sullivan style, marked by intensity, elegance and refinement.

    Winemaking

    The fruit was hand harvested into 15kg baskets and transferred to the winery, the whole-cluster crushed into the press and drained off into the tank for settling. Primary fermentation took place in barrique (30% new) over three weeks followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Lees stirring occurred twice towards the end of primary fermentation, then once more at the completion of malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged in barrique for 11 months.
