Wild raspberry, blueberry, cracked pepper and hints of vanilla bean show on the nose. Powerful and balanced ripe tannins give the wine great savoury structure.

Aromatics of plum, and blackberry take on a tinge of chocolate along with some spicy touches from time spent in oak. The palate is soft and smoothly Merlotesque, fruit-forward yet complex. Eminently drinkable.

The leather and plum aromas of the Merlot combine with spice and red fruit characters of Tempranillo and Malbec. Cassis aromas and structural backbone are provided by the Cabernet family.

This vibrant Triplebank Pinot Noir has lifted aromas of blueberry, raspberry and liquorice coupled with hints of anise and earthy forest. On the palate the fresh raspberry, cherry and plum flavours carry through, supported by a generous texture with silky tannins and hints of savoury oak. The concentration of flavours leads to a long satisfying finish. The richness of this Pinot Noir makes it well suited to a variety of meat or game dishes, particularly where savoury flavours abound.

Angels' Share, a gorgeous silky rich Shiraz. Angels share refers to the small amount of wine that evaporates from oak barrels during maturation, Medieval winemakers assumed that angels watched over their wines and that they took their share.

Saturating palate with aromatic notes of dried flower, black peppercorns & a good dose of Barossa preserved meats.

Smooth, soft and spicy, with aromatics of dark fruits and vanillin oak, the rich Shiraz flavours supported by firm tannins that deliver plenty of length and complexity.

Ruby red in colour. Pleasant bouquet with notes of violet, cherry and sour black cherry, accompanied by spicy nuances. On the palate, the wine is harmonious with a persistent aftertaste.

A luscious and aromatic wine, Vavasour Pinot Noir demonstrates the beauty of cool-climate vineyards.

Fragrant background spice, red berry and floral notes combine on a flavoursome, refreshing and finely textured palate.
