This wine is made from fruit grown on the historic 150 year old Turkey Flat vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines are planted on the river flat near the cellar door where they thrive on deep soils without the need for irrigation. Cabernet Sauvignon vines produce fruit of exceptional richness & concentration when grown in sites such as this. What sets Cabernet Sauvignon apart is its ability to travel, to set down its roots in distant lands & still produce something that is recognisably Cabernet, whatever the circumstances & conditions. Whilst the Barossa Valley has largely earned its reputation for making 'big' reds with the Shiraz grape variety, this wine is certainly proof that the Barossa can produce distinctive classic Cabernet with power, concentration & structure, in specific sites. The Black Flat vineyard, behind the winery, is such a site, which, since 1994, has been producing a consistent lineage of classic distinctive & stylish Cabernets. This intensely varietal Cabernet sourced from the Black Flat vineyards, is infused with eucalypt from the old gums that grow along the creek bed. Red currant, cedar & subtle tobacco on the nose gives way to a long palate of fine firm tannin, wood spice & wild fennel. This strictly limited release will improve with careful cellaring of up to 15 years. ...

This fortified Pedro Ximenez was made from grapes grown specifically for us by a number of traditional Barossa grape growers. When the grapes reached a maturity of 15 Baume the canes supporting the bunches were cut, which enabled the fruit to dehydrate & concentrate. Two weeks later the fruit was harvested at a maturity of approx 18 Baume. The grapes were then crushed, & after maceration for 4 days were fortified with brandy spirit, pressed & matured in French oak hogsheads. arvested

Inspired by the rare & luscious vin de paille of Frances Rhone Valley, this is the fifth release of this sweet white, made from 100% Marsanne grapes. In both France & Italy a traditional method of obtaining concentrated sugars & flavours is to lay harvested grapes on straw mats where they are left in the sun to dehydrate. We adopt a similar method, spreading out the bunches on our old apricot drying trays for up to six weeks before gently crushing & basket pressing. The unfermented juice is transferred into 112 litre French Oak barrels, where the wine will slowly ferment & mature until bottling. A pale straw yellow colour. This wine shows lime syrup, crushed brazil nuts & oak derived sandalwood aromatics. The palate is complex & initially sweet with rich flavours of ripe pear, spice & honeysuckle, balanced with a delicate acidity allowing a dry finish. Sweet wines of this style are not only suited to traditional desserts; served as an aperitif it will drink well with savoury dishes & tapas such as green olives stuffed with white anchovies, Manchego with quince paste or try with salt cod fritters. ...
