The Buffalo range reflects the character of the region through approachable, fruit driven wines designed for easy enjoyment and regional expression.

Vintage ConditionsThe 2023 vintage in the King Valley experienced cooler growing conditions influenced by a third consecutive La Niña season. The extended ripening period helped preserve freshness and natural acidity while allowing the fruit to develop bright varietal character and balance.

Winemaking TechniquesFruit was harvested to retain freshness and delicate Pinot Noir character. Gentle handling throughout fermentation helped preserve aromatics and bright fruit expression, resulting in a Rosé style that is fresh, vibrant and finely balanced.
