Unwind with the elegance of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - a true winter special. Its refined tannins and layers of dark fruit flavours beautifully contrast with the richness of slow-cooked lamb shanks or a hearty mushroom risotto.
"Gone are the days of "Cassis" and "Cigar-box"; now, imagine the fusion of new leather, comforting coffee, and rich chocolate mingling with deep, dark fruits. Across seas, it's the "Fruits of the Forest"—a playful dance of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and currants." - Matthew Barry
The hidden gem of winter wine pairings - this aromatic red boasts flavours of dark fruits and a touch of smokiness that pair wonderfully with a comforting plate of braised short ribs or a hearty lentil stew.
"Straight from the enchanting foothills of the Alps of northern Italy, this grape is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Imagine Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir joining forces - two wine powerhouses coming together to create something special." - Matthew Barry
For those seeking a white wine delight, our Estate Viognier shines with charm. Its notes of stone fruits and delicate florals create a harmony with creamy seafood pasta dishes or a zesty Thai curry.
"Once nearly extinct in 1960s France, this grape found its revival, especially in Australia. It's a star player, adding delicate violet nuances when co-fermented with Shiraz, and stands tall as an exquisitely aromatic white wine." - Matthew Barry
