As dedicated grape and sheep farmers they have deep respect for provenance, husbandry and craftmanship in food and wine. Straight from the farm, these wines embody their connection to the land and their enjoyment of it through quality food and wine. Farm to Table wines are bright, generous and carefully blended to complement the softer texture of farm raised meat.

2017 was a cold and challenging season. As a robust variety their Cabernet enjoyed the cool conditions. The long hang time ensured a good slow development of flavour with slow building sugar levels. This meant they could keep the alcohol below 14% and still have lovely ripe flavours.

The fruit was picked from their Billi’s vineyard in the last week of April, 2017. The wine was matured using new French (70%) and American (30%) oak. They blended in a small portion of Merlot (6%) from the same vineyard which contributes ripe, juicy plum flavours and fills out the mid palate.
