An expert's view:
"2025 is a vintage that offers value and wines that are rich and intense in the glass yet preserve freshness. Many of the wines are delightful with a modern touch underpinned by a classical dense style."
"The 2025 growing season presented significant challenges that led to quantities of wine being lower, but quality being high. Heat and drought characterised the year, leading to some of the earliest harvests on record. A timely spell of rain in late August helped ease vine stress and complete ripening. This is a vintage that rewarded precision viticulture and careful winemaking. Overall, another excellent year ending in '5' that deserves serious attention from Irish wine lovers."

SHOP THE FULL COLLECTION*In compliance with Irish tax laws, VAT on the wine is payable now and included in the case price of your wine (currently 23%). Duty will be charged at the rate set by Revenue when wines arrive in the country (currently €3.19 per bottle) and duty will also be subject to VAT. For estimation purposes the current Excise Duty rates in Ireland are €3.19 per bottle (€19.14 per 6 bottle case) plus 23% VAT. If the rate of VAT changes before your wines arrive, there may also be a small balance due or owed on the original case price.
