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 Chardonnay

Our estate-grown Chardonnay is made with just enough oak to enhance the fruit bouquet. The oak also increases the stability of the structure of the wine offering great potential for ageing longer in the bottle. The savouriness of this wine pairs well with fish, pork, chicken and so much more. I know because this wine type is my favourite.   

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.   

2019 Sangiovese

Pronounced San jo vay zay;a famous Italian wine grape.

Tasting Notes

New in to our cellar door is our 2019 Sangiovese, made from grapes grown on our property. Aged in old oak barrels this wine is typical of the rustic-styled Sangiovese. It has the earthiness of berries, dark chocolate and plums. Infused with just a nice touch of Cabernet producing a wine that reflects the Hunter Valley terroir. Chill in the fridge in Summer for a further depth of flavour.
