2021 Cabernet Franc 

The Cabernet Franc 2021 has a smooth rounded palate with a juicy centre, finishing with a mineral acid freshness. Tasting of fruity red berries and pronounced aromas of red cherry, wild raspberries and fresh cut herbs, this is a magnificent single vineyard example of a Hunter grown Cabernet Franc.

2018 Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

Rarely do we produce a purely varietal estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Due to its late-ripening tendency, this grape variety is sometimes a risk to grow successfully in the Hunter Valley.  In 2018 the weather was exceptionally dry so we managed to hold out to produce an intensely flavoured red that finishes well with prominent oak accents. This example is silky textured and combines well with light and medium red meats and creamy based dishes including seafood.

2018 Reserve Shiraz (Thomas Charles)

Region: Lovedale Hunter Valley

Variety: Shiraz

Alc: 14%

Tasting Notes

Our Reserve Shiraz is made from Shiraz grapes grown on our Estate. When we make our Shiraz we take into consideration how much oak the fruit can handle; because of the exceptional  nature of the 2018 harvest, the time on oak imparted additional tannins that contributed to the wine's natural stability. This strong tannin structure ensures this wine will age nicely for many years.

It is soft & smooth on the palate with intense flavours.   

2020 Flora Sparkling Shiraz

Region: Hunter Valley

Variety: Shiraz

A very new addition to our cellar door. Old oak maturation and second fermentation on lees. 

A beautiful rich shade of rhubarb and plum, when poured a pinkish blush of bubbles settle around the edge of the glass. A rich and full, easy celebratory wine with a soft, slight flush of sweetness. 

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN OPENING A COLD BOTTLE, THE TANNINS CAUSE THE POUR TO GUSH
