Noted filmmaker Warwick Ross and sister (silent partner) Caron Wilson-Hawley have moved fast and successfully since the first vintage in 2004. Starting out with the luxury of having the first seven vintages made at Paringa Estate by Lindsay McCall and team, Portsea Estate has now built an onsite winery and hired Tim Elphick, who has a wealth of cool climate winemaking experience. Warwick's film Red Obsession was given high ratings by film critics around the world. It takes an inside look at the Chinese fascination for the greatest wines of Bordeaux.
Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed to new and used French oak for 3-5 weeks fermentation and 10 months maturation. An elegant wine, poised and balanced. White peach leads the flavour pack, with a tinkle of grapefruit chiming in on the back-palate and aftertaste.
