Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
The 2023 vintage in the Riverina was marked by a warm, dry ripening season, ensuring Shiraz grapes developed excellent colour, ripe tannins, and concentrated flavours.

Winemaking Process
Grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness, fermented on skins to extract colour and flavour, and gently pressed. A portion was matured with oak influence to add spice and complexity, while maintaining the wine’s juicy, fruit-forward style.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with aromas of ripe plum, blackberry, and subtle pepper spice. The palate is medium-bodied with generous dark fruit flavours, soft tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish.

Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with barbecued meats, roast lamb, grilled vegetables, or a classic pepperoni pizza.
