2017 Cabernet Franc

One of the varieties grown in our 13 Acre Block, it was planted as Merlot, but as it grew it looked and behaved differently, and after investigation it was found to be Cabernet Franc. Made only a few times since its planting in the 1980's, (when we have some spare), this wine has the ability to age well (the 1998 is looking superb).

2019 House Block Riesling

Our "House Block" is as it says, is planted beside the Best's homestead and produces some exceptional parcels of fruit. In the best years we take these parcels and make something a little special out of them. Picked earlier, these wines have great flavours and are made off dry to balance the wine, making a great all round style.

2019 Old Vine Pinot Meunier

2021 HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION - 97 points

Pinot Meunier is among the oldest vines planted at our Concongella vineyard, dating back to 1868. Planted as Miller Burgundy, it was used to blend with other varieties until 1967, when Viv Thomson convinced his father to make a single varietal wine. That first single varietal vintage was so good, it's been made that way ever since and now has a cult following for the limited parcels that we release. Along with the historical Shiraz planted beside it, these wines show great balance, length and fruit breadth, with an ability to age exceeding well.

2019 Rosé

Made from the free run Pinot Noir juice with smaller amounts of Pinot Meunier and Shiraz off our estate vineyard. This is the go-to drink for a lazy summer's afternoon.

Tyson Stelzer quoted: "Textural, savoury, complex and sophisticated". See attached Tasting Note for more.
