- ABOUT THE WINE: From the Barrecas vineyard in Donnybrook, Western Australia. The 2024 vintage was challenging and hot. Cool wet winter followed by a warm, dry spring and a hot summer. The wine is ripe, but was picked with freshness remaining in the grapes, giving perfumed aromatics. The palate is slick and juicy with blackberry notes and hints of spice and cedar from its time in French oak. Enjoy now and up to 7-10 years.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Battles Wine was started by friends Lance Parkin (winemaker) and Kris Ambrozkiewicz (sommelier, sales) in 2019. Parkin was a winemaker at Houghton in the Swan Valley before the sale to the Yukich family in '19, at which point the Swan Valley-based component of the Houghton team disbanded and formed their own ventures. Battles focuses on a small collection of tiny-quantity wines from a variety of regions (at this stage, the Perth Hills, Margaret River, Great Southern and Geographe) made with great attention to detail, and vineyard provenance top of mind. Ambrozkiewicz (aka Ambro) has a longstanding and intense love of wine, paired with an impressively honed bank of wine knowledge and years of sales experience.
