A delicious, medium-bodied combination of ripe fruit and minerality with good structure and verve. This wine tingles with glace’ pineapple, lime and stone fruit. Eight months in French oak barrels adds rich leesy breadth and caramel tone. Good food partner. |

This delicious, medium bodied food wine, combines vibrant, racy acidity with concentrated stewed quince, honey and lime flavours. Left on the lees for seven months imparts creamy, spicy undertones, finishing with a lingering farewell. A good food partner. |

‘Careful whole berry
selection and fermentation, produces ripe, smoky plum
and black pepper flavours with a beautifully silky mouthfeel.
Oaking in French oak is deftly integrated into the wine,
which is smooth and elegant, deserving an invitation to
dinner!’ |

‘A bold new world
style duo of 77% Syrah and 23% Mourvèdre. Rich,
wild berry flavours are reined in by Mourvèdre’s
savoury tone and dusty, spicy tannins from from 20 months in new French oak and a touch of American oak. Robust,
exuberant and youthful for enjoyment with food now and
after a few years ageing’. |
