Made Locally, Coveted Nationally & Awarded Internationally. Winner of the Adelaide Hills Shiraz Trophy at the World's biggest & most important wine show – The International Wine Challenge.
The IWC is accepted as the World’s finest and most meticulously judged wine competition which assesses every wine blind. Each medal winning wine is tasted on 3 separate occasions by at least 10 different judges, proof that it is one of the most difficult shows at which to win an accolade.
Great care is taken to isolate select rows of the best Shiraz fruit, then to a step further by hand picking only perfect bunches based on flavour. The yields are small but the rewards are plentiful resulting in only 200 doz of the best Shiraz.
Powerhouse red. Rich, meaty, perfumed, lashed with oak, dashed with sweet spice. Adelaide Hills shiraz with the lot. Tannin is fine, infused with coffee, and in control. It’s a red to be reckoned with, and it’s going to mature - quite gloriously - over a long period.

Deep red/purple colour. Big, earthy, dry spice aromas, the palate sweet-fruited and lush. A big, voluminous, almost opulent shiraz, with a sweet fruit core and appealing spicy lift on the nose. This has intensity and elegance, and some cool-grown spicy charm, good drive and length. Delicious wine.02 APR 2018
