Est. 2008, Margaret River
Exclusive 10+ Year Old Wine
These well-aged, mature red wines possess a smoothness and elegance that we just don’t see anymore, except on the rare occasion when you find something in the back of someone's cellar.
Against the trend of producing wines that age faster to reach the market sooner, we have set out to create wines that will age.
We have put them to bed in our temperature-controlled storage facility and are now making them available to the market as beautifully refined and elegant wines.
“Bright tones of raspberry, cherry skin and potpurri are supports by complex hints of cedar, vanilla pod and cassis. The palate is laden with coating fine grain tannin and a firm red fruit core. Flavours of plums, milberries and charry French Oak linger on a finish of blueberry” Remi Guise

Halliday Wine Companion Tasting Notes:
"This is a very solid cabernet with regional tattoos of pastille and mint planted amidst currant sage and bay leaf. Mid to fully weighted, bitter chocolate and mocha etched tannins ply the finish nicely. Already broachable, this will age well in the medium term" Ned Goodwin (2021)
