This single-vineyard Shiraz Cabernet is a true standout in our lineup and has earned its place as a museum wine. This vintage captures the best of both varietals, with the bold, spicy notes of Shiraz beautifully balanced by the structured, dark fruit flavours of Cabernet. Over the years, it’s developed an incredible depth and smoothness that only time can bring out, with layers of complexity that tell a story in every glass. Now as a museum wine, it represents a special chapter of our winemaking journey - a rare find from the Yarra Valley for those who want to experience a wine that’s evolved into something remarkable.

"Good depth of colour with very little youthful tints remaining, the bouquet likewise dominated by toasty/earthy/woodsy and meat-stock developed characters, the palate likewise dominated by tertiary characters of considerable complexity and appeal. The finish is long and appetisingly dry thanks to tannin and development. Yes it's forward, but there's a lot to like."

Both the Shiraz and Cabernet fruit came from the Yarraland Vineyard in the Yarra Valley. Fruit was handpicked then destemmed intosmall open pots with indigenous yeast. The wild yeastreflects and integrates the true characters of thevarieties, region and in particular, the unique flavours ofthe vineyard.The open pots were gently hand plunged twice daily,then pressed when dry to a selection of French oakhogsheads (40% new) for 18 months.
