I like to have a bit of fun with this wine. Exactly what proportion of grapes I use changes, depending on the season and the year.....I'm so excited that the 2022 vintage is a straight Grenache, as often I end up blending it with a bit of Shiraz to fill in the mid palate.
The 2022 vintage is floral and bursting with raspberry, redcurrant and mocha leading to a sumptuous, long, dry finish. Try this blend slightly chilled, it is great with the lighter food we eat during the warmer months, of course you can settle in on the couch with your favourite pizza.
We make some of Western Australia's best Shiraz, as a result of the micro-climate found in the lowest part, the gully area of our Swan Valley vineyard.
This is a big concentrated Shiraz with intense flavours, quintessential Upper Reach.

No need to with this vintage- the straight Grenache looks sensational

Of course you could settle in on the couch with your favourite pizza & a glass or two of this.
This is probably my favourite vintage that we've ever made of the Petit Verdot, it is significantly lighter and more delicate and so drinking beautifully....this is a very limited wine.
2018 was a great vintage for the Swan Valley, this is the last vintage that we've made of this wine as the winemaker wasn't happy with the fruit in the warmer summers we had since.
In true Petit Verdot style, the nose has ripe, berry fruits and a hint of menthol or eucalyptus. This leads into a rich, savoury plum, raspberry palate. And a spicy, leather, oak finish.
A big, bold, meaty red, totally different to Shiraz or Cabernet.
