Overview

The fruit for this wine was sourced from our vineyards within the Gundagai, NSW region. Situated on the Foothills of the Great Dividing range, The Gundagai wine region provides a continental climate with warm and dry growing conditions followed by a long dry and cool ripening period. Red wines produced from this region are mostly medium bodied and extremely aromatic.

The Gundagai region mostly contains red duplex soil types which are suited for growing Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon Varieties. The grapes were machine harvested at night with the cooler night time temperature helping to retain fresh varietal characters in the berries.
