A rich and vibrant fruit driven front palate layered with plums, blackberry and red cherry that lead into a smooth mid palate of crème brûlée, dark chocolate and hints roasted coffee bean. Lively grape tannins provide structure and focus from start to finish. Fruit richness and a luscious mid-palate is the hallmark of this wine style, with sympathetic and balanced oak completing the traditional Shiraz flavour and structural profile.
Individually selected Cabernet Sauvignon parcels were chosen to achieve an elegant, stylish and varietal wine. Sourced from premium vineyards, each block expresses the terroir of the land it was harvested. Each batch was matured in oak and the final blend showcases the layers of flavour and tannin profile desired. This wine provides lifted varietal aroma, a rich mid palate and complex, well-ripened tannins that show power and structure.

All of our ciders are made using traditional Champagne yeast so as to extract the optimum fruit flavour and intensity from the variety of apple and pear that we seek out. This yeast creates small, constant and delicate bubbles, which lift and enhance the aromas of the product out of the glass and in doing so imparts a fresh-lively, delicate and persistent creamy mouth-feel. The fermentations are temperature controlled and tasted daily to ensure that both the fruit flavours and product balance are retained at their optimum before their final preparation for filling to bottles or kegs.
