A blend of 70% Chardonnay with 30% Old Vine Semillon. The Chardonnay underwent wild yeast fermentation in French oak, while the Semillon was fermented in stainless steel. The final blend is a mix of flint and funky from the Chardonnay and zesty, fresh citrus from the Semillon. 

Fermented as whole bunches and pressed off at the end of fermentation. This Semillon then spent 3 months in old French barrels previously used for our Chardonnay and underwent full malolactic fermentation. The result is a textural, juicy white wine with a zesty, dry finish. 

Barrel selection from the Shady Pines, Forbidden, & 1948 Lindeman’s vineyards, this Shiraz was fermented as whole berries before being pressed into 500L French oak barrels. The wine was then left to mature in a mix of new and used oak for 10 months. The result is a full-bodied Shiraz with lifted aromas of white pepper, black mulberries and vanillan oak.

Hand Waxed and numbered by batch. A true example of boutique, premium Hunter Valley Shiraz.

Cellaring for 10-15+ years
