Deep dense crimson red in colour with a youthful purple and brick red hues, the wine has lifted, cassis and herbaceous berry like fruit aromas currently dominating the bouquet with cigar box vanilla wood overtones. The palate is well structured and full bodied, featuring rich, ripe and persistent classic Cabernet flavours supported by a backbone of integrated, finely grained soft tannins and French oak. The ripe fruit flavours are enhanced and sweetened by the oak and finishes with a balanced crisp acidity. Together these characteristics produce a wine of great complexity that fill the mouth over the length of the whole palate. The overall richness weight and structure of the wine will see it greatly improve with further careful cellaring over the next 10 years. It is an elegant, sophisticated wine that will age gracefully. The wine is an excellent accompaniment for red meat dishes especially BBQ and heavy pasta dishes and curries.

From the treasured home block at Griffin Road, planted in 1996, and selected local growers. Opulent Cabernet from a warm vintage. Ripe, yet elegant fruit flavours are complemented by typical cedar, cassis and spice. Tannins are well balanced with the fine textured palate; a wine which will age gracefully for up to ten years.

Handpicked from 800m above sea-level. The nose is Big and Bold filled with Earthy notes. Dark vibrant Ruby. Complex bouquet of Morello Cherry, Dry Herbs and hints of Forest Floor. Palate is balance with French Oak, Plum and Savory Tannins.

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. About the winemaker: Adam has worked vintages for premium producers across Australia and New Zealand including Crawford River and biodynamic producer Hochkirch/Tarrington Vineyards.

The Angullong vineyards are located on the southern lower slopes of the Orange region at the foothills of Mount Canobolas, an ancient volcano. Angullong’s topography is best described as dramatic. The country ranges from undulating to steep hills with spectacular limestone escarpments that radically descend to the fast flowing Belubula River. Barbera is an Italian variety that has been grown in Australia in small qualities since the 1960s. Angullong ‘Fossil Hill’ Barbera is a succulent, medium bodied, savoury wine with abundant cherry, raspberry and herb flavours, complemented by textural and balanced tannins. The variety is eminently suited to cooler regions and should mature well in the bottle over the next five or six years. Enjoy it with barbecued lamb.

Vibrant in colour the nose shows plum and berry fruit with spice pepper and well integrated oak. The palate has good fruit weight with attractive berry flavours and a fine tannin finish.
