The Naimanya vineyard sits high in the tiny sub-region of Flaxman’s Valley on soils of sandy loam, gravel and quartz over clay. At 520m elevation it is amongst the highest Shiraz vineyards in South Australia. Fair winter rains and a cool summer gave us a healthy crop of excellent quality. Hand picked on the 7th April, 70% destemmed, 30% whole bunch, pressed to French oak (10% new, Saint Martin), matured for 20 months in barrel. 1940 bottles produced.
The Lenger Road vineyard sits at an elevation of 480m in the Mount Torrens region of the Adelaide Hills. The soils are sandy loam and clay over quartz and ironstone on a slight northerly aspect. Late ripening and low yielding the vineyard typically produces sweet, spicy and herbal fruit. Hand picked on the 9th April, 85% whole bunch wild fermented, pressed to French oak and matured for 20 months in barrel (31% new, Saury). 1260 bottles produced.
One of the best Moscato we have enjoyed!
On the palate this wine is clean, light and delicate, backed by an excellent, refreshing acidity.
An unwooded chardonnay that is refreshing and crisp, with a full rounded palate with stone fruits and then finishing with minerality and complexity
Green pea and kiwi fruit on the palate to start and lovely acidity and crunch to make the finish clean and savoury
Fresh complex fruit which is shows a lingering and well balance mouth feel, but well balanced with a dry finish.
Everything you want from a Cabernet Sauvignon - blackcurrant and black cherry flavours, with a warmth of black olives, green capsicum and mint.
A palate that has richness with ripe red cherries, blackberry and plums that is balanced with spices and vanilla which has come from the oak.
Beautiful earthy character on the nose, with soft berry fruits on the palate to compliment.
An elegant wine with soft dark fruit and a fresh violet lift - spicy complexity on the finish, a great example of an expectational Pinot Noir.
Made from parcels of premium fruit from the oldest vines on the property, Milton Vineyard makes the Family Reserve only in exceptional years.
Smooth and savoury with rich plum and dark cherry fruit, soft spice and earthiness, a firm personality and soft seamless silkiness in the mouth with a density of flavours.
Bright deep coloured wine with an intensity of aromas of dark cherry fruit and some oak notes.
Very smooth with loads of fruit forward and clean and long with a hint of chalkiness in the tannins and savoury finish.
Crisp and refreshing with strawberry, citrus, and a hint of herbs. Dry and everything you'd expect from a Provence rosé.
Wild strawberry flavours and balanced acidity and an aftertaste is lightly perfumed, with herbal hints.
No wonder this rose has a great following!
