Made from selected low yielding estate fruit, this wine shows lashings of black cherry, plum and raspberry fruit with smokey bacon and toasted oak spice complexity from 14 months maturation in French barriques. The palate is rounded with a long silky finish and gentle fruit tannins and should improve in the bottle over the next 5 to 8 years.

Floral notes from the Cabernet Franc are evident in the youthful years
of this wine, enhanced with the vibrant red berry fruits of both
varieties. Fine grain French oak barrels add subtle complex aromas and
flavours and add depth to the palate and length of the wine.

Night harvest and cool fermentation retained the lifted elegant, floral aromas and crisp citrus, apple and pear flavours, which linger with a mineral acid texture. Lively and crisp with a rich round palate this wine is suitable for immediate enjoyment or can be cellared for further complexity and enjoyment of mature Riesling characters.

Refreshing clean citrus flavours, typical of our cool climate vineyards are expressed with youthful intensity capturing both regional and varietal characters. The barrel fermented component adds the complexity of fragrant French oak, while malo-lactic and lees stirring adds mouth feel and further palate richness and length.

Quality Australian grown walnuts from the south east of
Australia where conditions for growing walnuts are perfect. With the
ever increasing awareness of "eating healthy", walnuts are becoming a
regular part of people's diets, particularly because of the high levels
of Omega 3.
