The fruit for this wine was handpicked from our estate plantings and is named after the vineyard address to emphasise the terroir. The excellent 2023 season produced slowly ripened fruit with vibrant colours, great varietal flavours and excellent acid retention. A dash of viognier has been added to enhance complexity. It is a lovely cool-climate shiraz, which will repay cellaring for seven years or more.
