This family owned vineyard and orchard lies on the edge of Yackandandah Valley in North East Victoria. The shiraz grapes have been sourced from both Rutherglen and Allan's Flat, so combining the flavour of both growing regions. The fruit leaves a peppery aftertaste on the palate.

THIS VIBRANT STYLE OF FORTIFIED WINE DISPLAYS FRESH AND YOUTHFUL CHARACTERS. SHOWING LOVELY FLORAL, PLUM AND BLACKFRUIT AROMAS WITH SOFT BERRY FLAVOURS ON THE PALATE AND A LONG LINGERING PERSISTENCE.

This is not your average rosé. Handpicked from painstakingly managed 20-year-old Shiraz vines, the fruit was crushed and sent directly to tank to preserve the character of the wine. Fleeting contact with skins rewards with gorgeous colour and crunch. A cooler ferment keeps it bright, before ageing in old French oak for an element of savouriness.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from Con Mara Vineyard in Whorouly South, Alpine Valleys, Victoria. The 3t of fruit was picked in early March and taken back to Beechworth for processing. The wine spent nearly 14 months in 4 x new 500L French Oak puncheons and has yielded a more full-bodied style than the 2013 vintage. This received a gold medal at the North East Victorian Wine Challenge; 94 Points Halliday Wine Companion, 92 Points The Wine Front; and 4 Stars in Winestate.

Durif achieves cult-like status among those who enjoy its dense concentrated charm. Intense aromas of dark berry fruits and liquorice notes are perfectly married with a rich and ripe palate.

Absolute bargain Shiraz (that wildly overdelivers for the price) from a modern Beechworth star!

This wine is a classic cool climate style, displaying dark fruits and pepper balanced by an intense and structured palate.
