Fermented in both French oak and clay amphora, this wine is a complex dance of textured tannins with flavours of cider apples, grapes, and William Pear, highlighted by aromas of orange blossom and perfume.
These grapes are sourced from the North facing Merricks, Mornington Peninsula vineyard on red volcanic ferrous eroded basaltic soils. It is elegant on the nose, expressing restrained raspberry and red cherry. The palate continues with red cherry fruit, grilled peaches and hints of herb and spice.
From our very special Lethbridge 'Block 4', this wine is richly textured, heady with powerful red berry and maraschino cherry fruit, and licorice with sweet spices over vanilla and smoke.
Our 2018 Lethbridge Rebenberg Shiraz is a true reflection of this extraordinary vineyard. This is a generous, but not excessive, full and round compote of black fruit and fine-grained tannins.
Intense red berries and spice dominate this wine. It inhabits a goldilocks zone between the savory, pepperiness of Syrah and the sweet spiciness of shiraz.
Our flagship Chardonnay, is capable of stopping you in your tracks. Citrus, with grapefruit, lemon, white nectarine and almond meal notes. Finely lined throughout with a tantalising theme of bush herbs and lemon thyme. Bright, crystalline freshness to close.

"Fermented in new French puncheons, full mlf, 12 months in oak. Ripe peach mingling with nutty oak and matchstick-like minerality on the bouquet. A rich and almost buttery palate with citrussy acidity that tightens the wine through the finish and lingers in the aftertaste."
This is a have-your-cake-and-eat-it wine! It delivers robust flavours and perfume without losing structure and drinkability. This wine is rich and complex yet vibrantly fresh and tight. The palate is stunning - a gorgeous lemon ginger-infused clotted cream character, savoury and with super length.
