Winery Overview

With an emphasis on quality Barossa fruit and structured winemaking, the range highlights richness, depth and balance, delivering wines that are both expressive and well-rounded.

Region and Vintage Conditions

Sourced from the Barossa region, the 2017 vintage benefited from favourable growing conditions that allowed the grapes to ripen steadily. This resulted in fruit with depth, concentration and well-balanced structure, ideal for Cabernet Shiraz blends.

Source

Fruit is selected from quality vineyard sites known for producing rich, full-flavoured grapes. Careful vineyard management ensures consistency, flavour concentration and varietal expression.

Winemaking

Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz are fermented separately before blending, allowing each varietal to express its character. Controlled fermentation and maturation help build structure, complexity and a smooth, integrated finish.
