    WINEMAKING

    Traditional open top fermentation using wild yeast, hand plunging and gentle basket pressing before going to oak. This wine was matured in 30% new French oak hogsheads and puncheons along with 70% older French oak for 16 months before blending and bottling with no fining. The final blend is 75% Shiraz and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon.

    THE WINE

    This classic Barossa blend has a beautiful bouquet of cherries, mixed spices and Eucalypts which comes from the 3000+ native gumtrees surrounding the property. The palate starts out fruit forward with bright blueberries and hints of coffee, then leads into a grippy mouthfeel that lingers and coats the mouth.

    STORY BEHIND THELABEL

    The shapes are the Cabernet & Shiraz vineyard blocks on our estate. The lines show the number of rows in each block. The overlapping Cabernet block represents it's smaller percentage in the blend. As 4th generation grape growers we wanted our Estate range to reflect our love of the land.
