A 50/50 blend of Shiraz and Merlot, picked and handled separately just after the berries changed colour. The fruit was crushed and quickly pressed into tank for fermentation. A bright and fresh style of Rose full of red fruit flavour. 

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. 

‘The Dance of the Paper Wasp’ is familiar to many a backpacker during harvest in this vineyard. These wasps love to nest in the canopy of our vines at the exact time of hand harvesting. 

Hand picked and partially whole bunch pressed. The juice was transferred to barrels for a mix of wild and cultured yeast fermentation. The wine was barrel aged in 10% new French oak and 90% 1 to 6-year old French oak, with 15% undergoing MLF. Over the 8 months in barrel the wine underwent monthly lees stirring.
