Introducing all our wines
OUR WINES
You'll discover a fresh dynamic energy of pure fruit inside every bottle. We use less sulphur in our wines.
In our barrelled wines, we utilise several different aged barrels from one to four year barrels to mature our wine in.
This gentle approach encourages our wines to be soft and digestible, with fine, silky tannins on the finish.
Small parcels of our vineyard are hand-picked separately. In this way we can select particular grapes for the individual cuves.
Various methods of fermentations are used to encourage aroma & colour from the grape skins & juice.
“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and
one of the most natural things of the world
that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and
it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than,
possibly, any other purely sensory thing.”
Quote from Ernest Hemingway
