A nose of ripe black cherry juice, freshly squeezed, with some cinnamon and clove depth. This follows on the palate which is rich yet very bright and lifted with some gamey notes in the finish.

The winery in the hamlet of Marananga was established in 1992 and has sublime vistas over its old vineyards. Ancient gums on rolling Barossa hills overlook Greenock and Seppeltsfield. Behind the small, hands-on winery is a classic, old-time Barossa homestead built in the late 1800s over which a single palm tree stands. All fruit is hand-harvested and naturally-fermented, aged largely in older French barriques and some larger vessels, also some American oak which suits the generosity of the reds here too. Inspired by old-school winemaking techniques Tom White champions natural winemaking from his old vines, respecting the traditional flavours of the Barossa.

Sourced from a single Gommersol vineyard just a few minutes south of the winery. 80+ year old vines in ancient deep red brown earth soils over a clay base.

Pink, seared duck, Chinese ribs, warm goats cheese and mutton curries.
