Appearance: Vibrant red/purple colour with a crimson hue.
Bouquet: A fragrant red and black fruit bouquet with delicate oak in the background.

Bouquet: An intense bouquet of plum and spice with supporting oak.
Palate: This Hunter Valley Shiraz displays a lovely fruit rich palate complexed with peppery and spicy notes. The polished tannins are ripe and supple. Combine this with quality French oak barrel maturation and the wine delivers a generous, well structured and sophisticated mouth feel with great length of flavour.
Cellaring: Careful cellaring up to 10 years and beyond will be rewarded.
A winemaker selection of either the western or eastern blocks across the estate’s
holdings that is is increasingly and inevitably, I am told, from the eastern
side.
With the shading and attenuated ripening pattern, justifiably so. The result
compacts a density of dark to mulberry fruit scents, with a leafy freshness
embedded across a sinewy, firm tannic fiber.
Far more structured and
authoritative than the other blocks due to tighter packed, compact grapes. This
higher quotient of skin to liquid ratio imparts a full-bodied textural
intrigue. Almost Italianate in its dry, structural pose. Savoury and inimitably
Hunter.
Appearance: Deep red in colour with a bright red hue.
Bouquet: A fragrant bouquet of red and blackberry fruit with spice and background cedary notes.
Palate: The Balmain is a modern Australian blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. These three grape varieties are grown on our own Certified Organic Vineyard located in the Central Ranges of NSW. The wine is rich and velvety, displaying bright red fruit flavours with lovely supple tannins to provide a fresh and long palate. The French oak characters gently sitting in the background adding complexity and length to the soft and rounded finish. Medium to full bodied.
Cellaring: Excellent drinking now or will further develop with careful cellaring up to 5 years.
Appearance: Deep red in colour with a bright red hue.
Bouquet: A fragrant bouquet of black and red currants with spice and cedary notes.

The wine displays a delightfully rounded palate offering a generous mix of red and blue fruits balanced by fine, silky tannins. With 12 months of gentle French oak maturation the palate is well structure, complexity and long.
