Winemaking & Vineyard:

The grapes for this wine are sourced from some of the oldest vines in the Barossa, known as the Orphan Bank vineyard. These vines, with their deep roots and low yields, produce fruit with exceptional concentration. The wine undergoes small batch fermentation, followed by maturation in a combination of French and American oak barrels, where it gains its complexity and smooth texture.

Food Pairing:

This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, particularly lamb or beef, as well as roast venison or hearty stews. It also complements mature cheeses, such as blue cheese and aged cheddar.
