Our Wines
Shiraz
The bouquet is gorgeously expressed, showing dark plum, blackberry, vanilla pod and cedar characters, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate that is supple and beautifully rounded.
Grenache
Bright and perfumed, the inviting bouquet shows ripe strawberry, raspberry, floral and mixed spice aromas, followed by an elegantly weighted palate that is smooth and lingering.
Riesling
A bouquet of gorgeous lifted floral, jasmin and citrus and lime, the consequent complex round creamy weighted palate follows.
Limited Release Shiraz (Rose Gold)
An intense forest fruit and blueberry aroma from an intense deep inky purple colour immediately show the seriousness of this wine.
Limited Release Grenache (Rose Gold)
The vibrancy, and brilliant colour bursts through the glass with lifted aromatics of cherry ripe and raspberry.
