Far from its traditional home in Spain the Tempranillo grape has found favourable growing conditions in a number of premium regions around Australia. This wine, from an old single vineyard near Young, displays earthy aromas of star anise and baked blueberry with rich rum and raisin notes. Red fruit on the palate with Provencale herbs framed by supple tannins. Match with food any time of the day or night.

The wine is brilliant deep crimson red in colour with a tinge of brick brown. The wine demonstrates the benefits of using many traditional French Burgundy winemaking techniques, comprising of barrel fermentation, extended lees and skin contact, malolactic fermentation, and hot fermentation. These methods have produced a very complex wine, showing cherry, spice and strawberry like varietal fruit aromas with sweet vanillin oak characters derived from barrel fermentation in French oak and storage of 12 months in oak. A full flavoured medium bodied wine, with great length and solid structure, offering soft cherry and plum like ripe Pinot Noir flavours, complemented by fine grained tannins and attractive lingering French oak characters finishing with a crisp acidity.

Brilliant colour, dense red right to the edge. Sweet, blackberry and mulberry nose highlighted with French Oak. Fruit, wood, alcohol and tannins are combining for a wonderful long finish. Medium bodied, will only get better with time. In balance now, but it would be a shame to drink it too soon – 2018 onwards.

The nose shows complex savoury, earthy, bramble aromas with lifted American oak. The palate is medium bodied with bright red currant and hints of spice and blackberry.

The 2017 vintage in Orange was unusually warm and dry, giving this wine a strong backbone of ripe fruit characters.The wine is a bright dense cherry red with a tinge of brick red.The bouquet exhibits lifted spicy ripe fruit and light earthy plummy Shiraz aromas, combined with soft vanillin oak characters. Full bodied, the length of the palate is filled with very youthful plummy spicy Shiraz flavours. These fruit characters are balanced by drying oak tannins which contribute both complexity and length to the wine. With a finish that is typical of cold climate Shiraz fruit crisp, clean and elegant.

A hot dry vintage produced Cabernet grapes that were too ripe and concentrated to make table wine. The wine was fortified on skins to extract maximum colour and flavour. The wines colour is a deep brick red with fresh purple tints. It has a rich fruity Cabernet bouquet with mature grape flavours, complexed with very old fine brandy spirit used in the fortification. A true vintage port style, it is a wine of high viscosity, luscious, rich, and full flavoured, and perfectly balanced by a slightly dry tannin finish. The great length of complex flavours highlight the integration of fruit character and brandy spirit esters and oils.

Our philosophy is make wines in a low intervention way, with minimal sulphur and no other additions. Wines are carefully handled, only racked once post fermentation to high quality French Oak barrels, then to tank for bottling. No fining or filtration. • Fruit is source from and made in Orange, NSW. • Low yielding vines (15-20+ yrs old), grown above 1000 metres. • All fruit is handpicked and processed. • Only 110 dozen produced. Tasting notes: Floral nose of red and dark cherry, nutmeg, briar and cedar. This wine is more fruit forward than the 2016 and a fuller wine. It will develop further forest floor undergrowth, mushroom and truffle tones. This wine is 50% whole bunch, which brings a spicy cedar palate, fine powdery tannins, balanced by natural acidity.
