A philosophy of minimal inputs in this premium block allowed the unique combination of variety, soil type and microclimate to shine through and produce a parcel of fruit with true character. The 2023 vintage was a mild year in Margaret River allowing enough time to ripen fruit to our specification.

Storage & Bottling -The 2023 Jack out the Box Rose was bottled in August 2023 to flint premium claret glass with a stelvin closure.
