Fortune favours the bold. The brave. The determined. It takes a certain brand of courage to harness the rich potential of this rugged stretch of coast, but up against the wild winds and soaking rains, sometimes our fate is best left to the elements to create a wine worthy of this place. Select parcels of basket-pressed fruit and time maturing in oak barrel give this Pinot Noir a subtle complexity; its rich, savoury and toasty palate shining through aromas of juicy red currants, raspberries, and spice.

A single vineyard site at 3500 metres in Agrelo Mendoza has produced a vivid 100% malbec displaying intense violet aromas over a core of red fruits with notes of cherries and raspberries . The wine shows excellent balance a fine backbone of fresh acidity and supple and elegant tannins from 14 months maturation in French oak barrels.

After spending the past 3 years in our cellar programme, the 2017 Yering Station "Yarra" Pinot Noir emerges in all of its autumnal glory. The soft red fruit and violet aroma is now nuanced with the brambly undergrowth character that many "pinotphiles" seek. Tasted in October, 2022, this is a wine at its peak, although another year in your cellar will do no harm.

COSSE MAISON NEUVE Lafage, Cahors Rouge 100% Malbec. A nose of ink and coffee and a mouthful on the black fruits, velvety tannins, a formidable balance with a nice fresh tension. The fruit for the Lafage Cahors Rouge is sourced from a 5 ha vineyard with an average vine age of 30 years planted on soils of clay and gravel. The juice is vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. The wine then spends 14 months in barrels before being bottled without filtering.

Winemaker Ian Little spent years of his childhood in Argentina and has returned many times to explore the wine regions and culture of what is a vast and fascinating country. Llamas is a fun project showcasing Malbec, the signature variety of Argentina. The varietal hallmarks of Malbec are its spicey richness, its big lavish fruit flavours and soft velvety tannins. This Malbec encapsulates all those features with its generous flavours and sumptuous depth of fruit. Naturally, it is the perfect wine for a traditional Argentinian asado – salud! Why llamas, why pyjamas? Just a fun name for a seriously good wine.
