A blend of 70% Shady Pines Shiraz and 30% Hill Pinot Noir fruit. The wine underwent whole berry fermentation with gentle handling before maturing in old French oak for 3 months. The gentle winemaking helped give soft tannins and enhance the flavours of cherry, plum, and mulberry. 

Produced from the ‘Fence Block’ planted in 1981 by the Tinkler family. This chardonnay was fermented in barrel with a mix of wild and cultured yeast, before being left to mature for 6 months in a mix of new and used French Oak. The wine shows characters of ripe melon and lemon, with a hint of French oak and complexity.

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

We have planted, grafted and replaced Pinot Noir vines for many years. As such, the vineyard looks something like the ‘Devil’s Kitchen’ – a true mix of character and complexity.

Hand picked and 100% destemmed for whole berry fermentation. The fruit was hand plunged twice a day before being pressed off at the end of ferment. The wine underwent MLF & lees aging in 1 to 3-year old French oak and was barrel aged for 8 months.
