Riesling
Made in a dry style from vines planted in 1970. It typically has mineral flavours accompanying the characteristic Riesling citrus notes. It is made to deliberately have some yeast characters, but botrytis is avoided. Ages well in good storage conditions for up to ten years. More about our Riesling

Pinot Noir
Made from a section of our “new” vines planted in 2000. It is assembled from a blend of clones,.all of which are severely crop thinned to lower yields and increase fruit intensity. Our first vintage was released in 2004. More about our Pinot Noir |
Black Label Cabernet
Again made from our “new” vines planted in 2000. A fresh early maturing style full of flavour and character, which should age well for five years. More about our Black Label Cabernet

Black Label Shiraz
The last of the trio of wines made from our new vineyard. It is typically full of ripe Shiraz pepper and spice, with balancing French oak. More about our Black Label Shiraz |
White Label Cabernet Merlot
This wine was first made in 1976. It does not emulate the current style of full bodied hot alcoholic wines but rather is a wine of finesse with delicate structure. It ages well for ten years and beyond. More about our White label Cabernet Merlot |
White Label Shiraz
Made also from our old vines planted in 1970. This wine is our flagship – the depth and intensity of flavour from these vines is exceptional. Definitely not a “blockbuster” style, but with lovely elegance, and well proven ageing qualities. More about our White Label Shiraz
