More Information

In the cellar

We aimed for soft tannins and ripe dark fruits and used 500L seasoned French oak barrels to mature this wine for 12 months and to add to the complexity.

In the vineyard

The grapes for this blend originate from prime vineyard sites that have been planted with new clone material. Most of the sites face west and have a clay sub-soil that retains essential moisture with gravelly, granite derived topsoil allowing for effective drainage.

Ageing

500L seasoned French oak barrels to mature this wine for 12 months

92% Shiraz, 8% Grenache

Food Pairing

Our favourite combinations include lamb chops braaied to perfection, or sweet & sticky pork ribs.
