Tasting notes: Our popular and deliciously dry Rosé is uniquely made from a blend of our rare Germanic grape, Trollinger, plus other Adelaide Hills red fruit. Made in the typical French Provencal style, it features a strikingly pale, watermelon juice colour, with a succulent nose of apple skin and crushed red berries, that gets you salivating even before you sip! The palate is super vibrant with a tumble of crushed red fruits and an explosion of juicy, natural acidity. The long tail is deliciously dry with a delicate rub of texture. Perfectly matched to freshly shucked oysters and all your favourite seafoods, and sensational with spicy South East Asian cuisine.
This is a rosé that will age well for between 5 - 7 years.

Tasting notes: Blaufrankisch is a red grape variety that produces wines of superb quality in its homeland of Austria, where it ranks as the pre-eminent grape in the red wine province of Burgenland.

Match this wine to skillet-seared lamb, crispy duck or Atlantic salmon. This wine is also fearless when paired to any spicy meat or vegetarian casseroles.
This Blaufrankisch will age till 2032 and will become more elegant and complex as time passes.

Silver Medal - London Wine Competition, 2024
92 Points - Tony Love, SA Wine Guide 2025
- 'Lifted plum, tobacco spice, crushed gravel with a hint of violet. Met with an immediate juiciness on the plate, there is remarkable freshness of fruit for 2021; this wine is alive.'


Notes: Introducing Saint Laurent, the beautiful and bohemian daughter of Pinot Noir.
This enigmatic variety originated in France. But in 1863 a bundle of cuttings crossed the border to Austria and were delivered to the Klosterneuburg Monastery, which was a great viticultural and winemaking centre. Here the cuttings were planted and cared for by the winemaking monks, and then propagated into Austrian vineyards. Meanwhile, back in France, all Saint Laurent plants were wiped out by the great phylloxera outbreak.
Over the years, this beautiful and mysterious variety was fully embraced by Austrian wine fans. It was invariably described as producing wines similar to Pinot Noir, but being more full-bodied and bohemian.
However, recent DNA studies carried out at the Klosterneuburg Monastery viticultural school have now proven conclusively that Saint Laurent is indeed the genetic daughter of Pinot Noir, the most royal of red grape varieties, but their research has been unable to identify the second parent.
This is why we have decided to call our wine The Foundling Saint Laurent because the story fulfills the mythological criteria of the foundling-infant who, of uncertain parentage, gets abandoned on the steps of the monastery, where it gets embraced, nurtured and adopted into a new home. And then, after growing up, finally discovers she is indeed a princess after all!
The 2021 vintage Saint Laurent is a complex and sublimely beautiful red wine, with a perfumed nose of roses, violets, cherries, raspberry and cardamom. There are hints of graphite, mushroom and earthy forest floor. The palate is deeply textured and broodingly beautiful, with seamlessly integrated layers of red and black-brambly fruits and delicious tannins - all offset by a juicy, natural acidity. Sit quietly and let this wine whisper to you about her Pinot Noir mother.
Saint Laurent is sublimely matched to skillet-grilled lamb cutlets - but also perfectly matched with rare pan-seared duck breast, or a spicy beef (or vegetarian) casserole.

Double decant this youthful wine for three hours before enjoying. (At least till end 2026.)

Benediction 2021 | $90 per bottle

Gold Medal - Berlin Wine Trophy 2024, Germany
Silver Medal - London Wine Competition 2024


Tasting notes: Benediction is a unique red wine blend of three noble Austrian grape varieties - Saint Laurent, Blaufrankisch and Zweigelt - which have an intimate relationship. Saint Laurent was cross-pollinated with Blaufrankisch in 1922 by Dr Friedrich Zweigelt, and the love-child produced was named Zweigelt in honour of its creator. Benediction is therefore a blend of the maternal variety, the father and their offspring.
Benediction 2022 has a beautiful garnet colour and a nose full of spiced cherries, mocha and crushed tarragon. The palate is vibrant and captivating with a fresh and seamless line of red and blue fruits, crushed herbs and a delicious core of beetroot borscht, all elegantly framed with a juicy acidity and fine, tea-like tannin. This wine will age and develop beautifully with time.
Perfectly matched with pan-seared duck breast, roast leg of lamb, rare sirloin steak, and extraordinary with a spicy, vegetarian stew.

Double decant this super youthful wine for several hours before enjoying. (At least till end 2026.)
