FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $250

An aromatic bouquet of lavender and violet leading to a savoury palate highlighting intense cherry, blackberry and plums. Some hints of leather and tobacco coming from the new oak and finished with fine grained tannins and good length.

Cooler climate growing regions like the Yarra Valley are heralding an elegant style of Syrah (Shiraz) and our elevated, well-drained site, coupled with two Victorian heritage clones create a graceful yet powerful wine. Our fruit was gently picked before being separated into whole berry or whole bunch ferments. It was then racked to puncheons (25% new) for slow aging.

The further we got into winter, the colder and wetter it became to the past 25-year average. Spring continued in this vain with temperatures cooler than average, and rainfall higher, with the dam filling naturally in late November.

December bucked the trend with abnormally high temperatures, five days above 35°C degrees and three days above 40°C and very low rainfall. This mirrored the rest of the country where the drought and high temperatures prevailed throughout Queensland and New South Wales.

We thought we were staring down a very hot, dry summer to come, however, January and February brought generally cooler weather and significantly higher rainfall than normal (112mm more). Furthermore, the season started to lengthen with picking dates extending out as much as two weeks more than has been the norm recently for some varieties
