Peak drinking - Drinking well now but will show further integration over the next 8 - 10 years. Viticulture - The Home Block Shiraz vineyard comprises 0.7 ha of open lyre, minimal irrigated vines planted on ironstone gravel over deep friable loam. Judicious shoot and bunch thinning is always used to maintain a very light crop which was hand picked in early March of 2021. Harvested at 12.5º Baume the fruit exhibited intensely concentrated flavour and colour. Winemaking - The hand picked fruit was harvested early in the morning and processed straight away. 5% whole bunches, including stalks were placed into the bottom of the fermenter before filling. The remaining fruit was de stemmed into the small open fermenter with heading down board, which keeps the cap fully submerged between drain and returns. After nine days of fermentation, the fruit was pressed into a blend of new and used French Burgundian barrels. Storage and Bottling - Maturation lasted 11 months before the wine was carefully blended and bottled. Bottled under screw cap to retain freshness in a premium Burgundy bottle. Held in bottle for approximately 1 year prior to release.

COLOUR Deep red with purple hues NOSE Enhanced fragrance of ripe black fruits, mulberry and cherry, woven with essence of fine oak maturation. PALATE An outstanding combination of fine black forest fruits and tannins balance with the fruit acid in perfect harmony. A wine of concentrated power that leave a rich, juicy, dry mouthfeel. VINTAGE The longest vintage many have experienced with late ripening due to the cool climate conditions in Margaret River. A mentally challenging year, where patience and hard work in the vineyard was rewarded with beautifully concentrated fruit.

Aromatics of blackberry, mulberry and dried herbs followed by a palate chocked full of sweet black fruits, dark chocolate and spice. Fine French oak tannins carry flavours to a savoury finish.

Medium crimson red with a slight purple edge. A generous combination of lifted forest berry fruits, cassis, and dark cherry fragrances upfront with underlying black olive and blackcurrant nuances. Subtle sweet cinnamon oak spice, violets and savoury dried herbs adds a further depth of complexity. Medium to full bodied wine with elegant, well integrated red berry fruit flavours fill the palate followed by a succulent, fleshy but firm tannin structure. Juicy red berry fruit flavours persist endlessly with a hint of dark chocolate mocha on the finish.

Layered earth and cassis. Silky texture. Sweet dark fruits.

It’s big and brooding. Think: blackberry compote, blackcurrant liqueur, charred herbs, dark chocolate. Rich cassis and plum jam, framed by cocoa and roasted spice. But it’s not just a fruit bomb—there’s a savoury edge too: dried thyme, graphite, and the iron backbone of old-school Cab. The skin contact gives tannins that are both fierce and finessed—grippy, chewy, and begging for meat or time.
