1 Shiraz 2005
Extremely elegant cool climate shiraz with great fruit flavours and over all balance. Described by leading wine writer Tony Harper as having “a seamless, plush texture...”. Brisbane News praised its “Rhone like qualities” The only Queensland wine in Courier Mail’s list of best value Australian wine for including in a wine cellar.

3 Shiraz 2006
Picked very late - on 17 April. It was very ripe with luscious fruit with very high baume but as a result the ferment left a little residual sugar. Halliday said it was over the top. He was right, but it still won a medal at one of its only outings. It has produced a cool climate wine with a voluptuous taste leaving a slightly sweet finish. It is on quite few restaurant wine lists. Great for the Boxing Day bbq.

1 Samuel Bailey 2007
The season started with frosts in November, then drought stressed and reduced the crop. However, it has produced great flavours. The wine was fermented in new French and American oak barrels purchased specially for this premium wine. Des Houghton’s Courier Mail pick for Christmas dinner 2009 and still winning medals.

1 Shiraz 2007
It is replacing our 2005 on restaurant wine lists. It was bottled very cold after flushing bottles with CO2. Some cases have a little dissolved CO2 in the wine from the bottling. It will keep it fresh for a very long time, but the wine needs to breathe for 30 mins or be decanted to be at its very best.

2 Reserve Chardonnay 2008
The Granite Belt is demonstrating that it can produce some of Australia’s best chardonnays. The grapes were excellent, hand-picked and sorted. The wine was fermented in new French oak barrels. It is quite flinty in a classic Chardonnay style – perhaps unfashionably over oaked. It will keep for many years and more fully integrate the fruit and oak. It received a commendation at the world’s most prestigious and influential wine competition – the International Wine Challenge in London.
