Vintage 2024 conditions

The below-average sized crush can be attributed to a number of seasonal factors as well as various forms of human intervention driven by economic considerations and market forces.

Major global-scale climate influences on the Australian climate in 2023 were a La Niña at the start of the year, an El Niño and a strong positive Indian Ocean Dipole which were established in early spring, and a positive phase of the S...

Written Notes

A vibrant blend of wonderful purity, aromas of passionfruit and fresh lime lead to a crunchy, fruit-driven palate of citrus characters through to a lip-smacking finish.


The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon vines were planted in 1977, hence the name Circa 77. The estate-grown vines are planted in the Boodjidup and Lagan vineyards in the Wallcliffe subregion of Margaret River. The vines flourish in the ancient granite soils, which have an abundance of ironstone gravel. These free-draining soils have low water and nutrient holding capacities, providing the optimum growing conditions to achieve balance between foliage and fruit, and deliver superb aroma and flavour intensity. The Indian and Southern Oceans meet here, engulfing the vineyards with fresh, sea breezes, promoting natural balance. The vineyard is managed sustainably with an aim of continual improvement of the natural environment focussing on soil and vine health, including biodiversity and weed management from sheep grazing.

The majority of fruit for this blend was crushed, destemmed and chilled before gentle pressing. The settled, clean juice was fermented at 15°C in stainless steel tanks using aromatic yeast strains to retain the fresh varietal characteristics. 10% of the fruit, which was all Sauvignon Blanc, was whole-berry pressed and the juice was barrel fermented to add subtle texture and complexity. The final components were selected and carefully blended. The Semillon component added texture and a citrus zip to the vibrant and herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc characters.
