White Label Chardonnay Hunter Valley 2022

Our White Label Chardonnay is very much in the style of Chablis where we keep the oak on the down low and let the fruit and texture of the wine shine through.

The fragrances that decant from the glass are incredibly intense. Fruit aromatics of tinned peaches and honeydew melon are fresh, clean and competing with marked floral blossoms and hints of spicy cinnamon quill.

The sensory adventure continues in the mouth. The soft and silky palate is light and refreshing with melon fruits, golden delicious apple and orange pith flavours fighting for your attention. There is also a creamy mid-palate that comes from ageing on yeast lees for the past six months.

Drinking really well in its youth and that was the idea. Enjoy now and until 2024.

In writing these notes Georgia (Assistant Winemaker) took it upon herself to take one for the team and enjoyed a bottle at home.  In the kitchen, she crafted a superb match of burnt butter and home grown sage with spinach and ricotta hand rolled tortellini. Call the winery for the recipe.

White Label Rosé 2022

Based on wines from the region of Provence in the South of France, we have created the perfect Rosé to enjoy on a beautiful sunny day. A radiant rose gold that captures the sun as it sparkles in your glass.

It is all about the red fruits with our 2022 Rosé. Strawberries, raspberry lollies and hints of dragonfruit can be enjoyed on the nose. While the soft and extremely approachable palate shows generous mouthfeel and sensual phenolics that grip the palate and cry out for some food. Super dry and crisp on the finish with just a hint of citrus, the wine is well balanced and perfect to share with friends and family alike. Enjoy this wine in it's youth and be ready for the next release in 2023!

Marry up this Rosé and a light, fresh prawn and mango salad with a dressing of lime zest, coriander, chilli and olive oil to see sparks fly.

White Label Shiraz Hunter Valley 2021

Not surprisingly, this is a very early bottling of our Hunter Shiraz but when the winemakers had pulled the wine out of barrel for a routine tasting they were stoked with how vibrant and silky the wine was. Bottle it now was the call and here it is. So much fruit!! An amazingly bright and youthful wine with mountain loads of fresh red fruits and rich characters of delicious dark plums.

The wine is medium bodied like a true Hunter Shiraz should be and the fine and slightly dusty tannins are just beautifully counter punched by all those delicious red fruits that well up on the palate. Juicy red fruits of dark plum, fresh raspberries and cranberry are lavished upon you before moving to a soft, silken finish. 

Drinking beautifully now as this wine is all about those delicious fresh fruit characters. The wine will cellar in the short to medium term. Drinking well into 2026.

This is the perfect everyday glass of wine that you need....everyday! Enjoy this wine by itself but if you were to match it with a flavoursome San Choy Bao you will not be disappointed. Believe us, it works.

Black Label Hamish Shiraz 2021

After bushfires destroyed the chance of any wines in 2020, for some of you it has been a painful waiting period but finally that wait is over. The 2021 Hamish has arrived.

This is a truly superb representation of viticulture and winemaking in the Hunter Valley. Dark mulberries are supported by deep savoury notes of caramelised balsamic, graphite and the earthy petrichor of wet forest.

The palate length is surreal with crunchy, underripe cherry opening up to red fruits and a generous kick of tannins on the finish. The mouthfeel is seamless from front to back and shows classy elegance with its medium weight and spicy french oak on the finish.

The wine will reward you now but will give you a fantastically different drinking experience with some considerable time in the cellar. Drinking well into 2031.

A wine of this calibre deserves some preparation in the kitchen. Plan ahead with a rotisserie Porchetta over coals, pan roasted whole red onions and dutch carrots to pair.

Black Label TPR Tempranillo 2019

An absolute cracking wine from the superb 2019 vintage here in the Hunter Valley and arguably one of our best TPR’s produced to date.
Youth is definitely on this wines side with fresh fruit aromas of figs and black currants presenting from the glass. This is further complexed by enticing black tea, toffee, nutmeg and cinnamon spice and with just a hint of black olive tapenade. Yes, there is a lot going on here.
The palate is seamless with no gaps, peaks or valleys from the front to the back palate. Generous to a fault and beautifully balanced with fine dusty tannins providing superb structure. There is a creamy richness to the wine that rounds out the finish and leaves the palate gasping for more. Drinking beautifully now but will continue to do so for another 10-15 years with amazing complexity.
A wine that will appreciate working with some decent flavours. Low and slow would work well. Either in a slow cooker or on your backyard smoker beef short ribs, deliciously sticky and melt in your mouth is the order of the day.
