Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Cabernet, Shiraz & Tempranillo from Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia. The grapes were entirely grown from their mature vines in ancient grey clay soils in Coldstream, Yarra Valley with the final makeup being 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Shiraz and 10% Tempranillo
Taste Profile: The colour of the wine is a deep and vivid ruby with a blue tinge, showing its youth. Attractive aromas of coffee, blackcurrant, red liquorice and a little autumnal leaf leap from the glass. The palate is plush, sweet-fruited and savoury at the same time. I’m seeing dark chocolate, blood orange and graphite. It’s a little more serious than first expected with ample fine tannins caressing the mouth on the long finish and a cranberry-like tartness.
Winemaking Process: The three varieties were picked and fermented separately as several small lots, generally as destemmed fruit and some with added stalks for seasoning. Once pressed off, the wines were matured in large, seasoned French oak barrels in our cool underground cellar where they underwent a long, slow, wild malolactic fermentation. Ten months on, the wines were blended (after much toing and froing of blending trials on the tasting bench) and bottled whilst still bright, fresh and lively.

Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
