This wine, as with all our sparkling red wines, is named in honour of our inaugural Chairperson Robert Fordham. This time the base wine is a shiraz sourced from Colbinabbin in the renowned Heathcote region of Victoria. It is a very rich wine with lifted dark berry fruits and a smooth, velvety finish
