The grapes are sourced from the estate's certified organic vineyards, which are located in the foothills of the Willunga Escarpment. The winemaking process involves handpicking the grapes, fermenting them in small batches, and aging the wine in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with rich flavors of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and tobacco. It has a firm tannin structure and a long, lingering finish, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty meat dishes.
