Red Wine

2015 Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes

“Medium to full red colour with a purple tinge. The bouquet reveals herbal, vegetable and compost aromas possibly indicating whole-bunch fermentation. The wine is medium to full-bodied and admirably soft. There's a big centre of fruit-sweetness and the wine seems quite developed for its years… quite a good wine”. Huon Hooke

Huon Hooke: 88 points.

Drink Now to 2027. It will just keep getting better.

2017 Thomas Charles Reserve Shiraz

Tasting Notes

So new into the cellar door we haven't had time to have it photographed; however the feedback is 'its a cracker' Katie-Lou

A deep purple Hunter Valley Shiraz exuding plum, pepper and cinnamon aromas. A full-bodied red wine with deep plum fruit flavour complimented with spice and pepper throughout the length of the palate. A great mouth feel supported with fine tannins; this wine was oaked in high quality American barrels. The deep rich-red colour is an indication of a nicely ageing wine. 

2020 Alicia Rosé

Introduced into our cellar door on the October long weekend. Made from what our winemaker calls a 'field blend', Sangiovese, Tempranillo & Cabernet. This wine is a dry style of Rosé with citrus flavours, finishing with a toffee edge. It is seriously getting the thumbs-up from our customers. 

'Soft, fragrant and uplifting, reminiscent of my mother's soothing embrace'

2017 Estate Shiraz

Bright & cheerful with clear fruit flavours

Tasting Notes

Goodness me this is a delicious Shiraz. Made in the spirit of a true Hunter Valley Shiraz: meaning distinctly different from other Australian wine regions. This wine is medium bodied, fruity and lively, it is a drink-now wine but the longer it is in the cellar door it is really showing us how well this wine has been made and how well it is aging. 

2018 Tempranillo

Pronounced Tempra nee yo

Tasting Notes

Spain’s favourite red wine and one of the world’s greatest grape varieties: smooth, fresh and fruity, simply gorgeous. Aging with the benefit of time spent on French and American oak, this wine has a velvety mouth feel with savoury and more earthy flavours. This wine will cellar for 10 plus years.

2016 James Peter 'The Cabernets' 

This wine tastes as good as it smells.

Tasting Notes

In the spirit of the true Bordeaux blend we used Cabernet Franc and  Cabernet Sauvignon; both were aged in French and American oak independently. We have brought to you a deliciously smooth full-bodied wine with a peppery finish. This wine just gets better with age.
