Looking to the family estates of Gravner and Radikon for inspiration, this wine sees a 14-day maceration and 14 days on skin, an approach traditionally reserved for red wine. Extended maceration is uncommon when making Chardonnay however we believe it offers a more complex mouthfeel, a pronounced nose and developed colour.

BOLD | BLUE FRUITS | EARTHY
This Shiraz and the 2019 vintage marked the first year Lachlan and Joshua produced wine together. Taking a straightforward approach, this first vintage focussed on considered winemaking, fruit character and drinkability.
How does it taste...
Distinctive black fruit, stewed plum, earthy beetroot and blueberry. Whole bunch pressing provides a subtle green peppercorn note. Medium bodied with a creaminess on the palate, delicate tannin.

The influence of the legendary Rhone Valley styles, including the wines of Cornas, St.Joseph and Crozes-Hermitage, where a high percentage of whole bunch is common, has driven our approach for this 2019 vintage. This winemaking style gives grippy texture and an herbaceous quality. A decision to pick the fruit earlier for the DILF Shiraz resulted in fresh acidity and lower alcohol.
