Enjoy Now to 2029/2031
First planted on the Estate in 1985, single varietal Cabernet Franc has been a feature of our Cellar Door exclusive range since the 1997 vintage. With maturity comes great character and this latest release overflows with that. Richly flavoured, with deep spice, violets and tobacco aromas, the palate engages with mulberry and bright berry fruits finishing a fresh grape acidity and polished tannins.
A wine of delicious appeal now with BBQ meat or vegetarian dishes. Short to medium term cellaring also an option … willpower allowing!

2024 Vintage
Surprises aren’t really something that I like, in fact after 20 years in the wine industry, you would think that nothing surprises me anymore, but every year it seems that the season does.
Once again there was high disease pressure, which was partly a carry-over from the previous season, compounded by the intermittent rain and weather events. There also wasn’t the heat that we have seen in previous years, no days above 40 degrees, but none-the-less the season resulted in with the whites and reds ripening at the same time, and organised chaos of vintage once again upon us.
Our first pick was on the 12^th February, and our last on the 21^st March, so a speedy six weeks and we had everything into the Winery.
Yields were overall slightly below average, but quality is looking good, with what I would consider a very good year for the whites overall and selected parcels of reds are outstanding.
Comparing vintages seems pointless, as every year brings with it its own set of challenges, and 2024 was no different. The final decision is yours as our 2024 are released, when you will be able to enjoy for yourself the outcomes of another challenging but always rewarding, season.
