In November 2011 the first small section of Tempranillo was grafted on to Merlot vines in the lowest section of the Retreat Valley Rd vineyard as a test to see how it would perform. The site was chosen as it has very cool nights and Tempranillo loses acid very quickly if the night time temperatures are warm. The test vines all grafted beautifully and the sample grapes looked good. In November 2012 a larger section was grafted – giving a total of just over 1.6 Hectares of Tempranillo. 2013 was a fabulous year and the flavours were dominated by rich raspberry chocolate.

In keeping with our philosophy of being as natural as possible, our Wild & Free range is fermented using the natural yeasts from the grapes. With single vineyard wines everything we do, or don't do, in the vineyard is reflected in the years wines. The soil, the season, the aspect, the mesoclimate of each and every vine impacts the flavour of the wine. We feel with wild yeast that this is the truest reflection of what our vineyard expresses.

This Rose' is fermented to fully dry but has the characteristic fruit sweetness from the Tempranillo. Fabulous summer food wide.

Dedicated to our hand raised Jersey cows, complete with their horns. This is a reflection of the biodynamic growing practices and the central role the cow and the moon take in managing fertility in a sustainable way. After being fed by our children, the calves would run with the kids around the paddock. Once at full size and seeing someone in the paddock they would come barrelling down the steepest hills to see you. A bit scary when in winter they could slide for nearly a hundred metres towards you! However, a much better option in my opinion than running with a bull hoping not to be gored...

Our Gruvee Gruner Veltliner follows the Austrian guidelines for what they call either Federspiel or Classic style of Gruner. The alcohol content is between 11.5% and 12.5%. At this level it is our first pick - prior to the peak of pepper and spice which develops later and is used for our Boundless Horizons Gruner Veltliner.
