Handpicked grapes from the Malakoff vineyard in the Pyrenees. The elevation is 300m and the soils are red ferrous clay with deposits of quartz and ironstone. The vineyard has low disease pressure and so synthetic fungicides are not used ensuring the sustainability of the land.

Handpicked and handmade from grapes grown in the Malakoff vineyard in the Pyrenees. The fruit was carefully sorted before partial destemming and fermentation in an open vat. Gentle plunging and pumping over to coax the berries into the spotlight before pressing and maturation in a mix of new and old oak barrels for 12 months.

The grapes were grown in the Merricks Grove vineyard on a north-south facing block planted in 1995. The Chardonnay clone is P58 and vines were pruned using a mix of cane and spur pruning.

Hand sorted and whole bunch pressed into old French oak barrels. Spontaneous ferment with gentle lees stirring for creaminess and texture. Maturation in a mix of new Italian and old French oak barriques for ten months.

Gracefully elegant and poised, the wine shows white flesh nectarine, Gala apple, roasted cashew and brioche characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that’s wonderfully weighted and expansive. It’s superbly structured by fine texture and bright acidity, finishing impressively long and refined. At its best: now to 2028.

This is the kind of wine that made Australian Chardonnay popular around the world. Big and bold styles – sunshine in the glass, with mouth-filling fruit matched up with plenty of oak. It is golden in colour and bursting with peach and nectarine fruits pumped up by butterscotch and vanilla oak complexity. The palate is then dry, full-bodied and creamy, with rich and voluptuous fruit underscored by tangy acidity. It is a crowd pleaser that will hit the spot for fans of old-school chardonnay.

We select the best parcels of grapes from mature vineyards in the Barossa Valley to make this elegant and balanced Shiraz. The yields are low to maximise fruit intensity and the higher elevation of the carefully chosen sites ensures a long and slow ripening period.

The grapes were carefully sorted, destemmed and fermented on skins for two weeks. The wines were then aged in French oak hogsheads for 14 months before blending and bottling.

Here we have a five year old Barossa Shiraz that is still youthful and clearly has potential to drink well over the medium term. It is a deep ruby colour and is a modern, fruit forward style with lashings of fruitcake, licorice, blackberry and baked earth fruits supported by coconut and vanilla scented oak influences. Big and bold on the palate, there is plush and fleshy fruit underpinned by significant tannins with some aged, earthy complexity. This Barossan will win many fans over the next five years.
