Nose and Palate: The Baton Shiraz Cabernet is an iconic blend that has complexity and balanced well between fruit’s concentration and acidity. The Baton Shiraz Cabernet is an iconic blend that has complexity and balanced well between fruit’s concentration and acidity. It is layered with a solid core of dark red fruits, gentle oak and finely textured tannis, which gives structure and length.

 

Shiraz Cabernet

Nose: Blackberry and blackcurrant fruit with lifted notes of leafy dried herb. Careful oak integration provides an underlying layer of spice and cigar box aromatics.

Palate: Generous dark berry fruits and hints of tobacco leaf are balanced by subtle oak influence to provide a generous, full flavoured wine with firm lingering tannins.

 

Selection Viognier

Selection Viognier

 

Nose: Tantalising mix of aromas – apricot, peach and even pears along with subtle spicy notes.

Palate: Extremely individualistic, tasting nothing like any other Australian wine. It is at once austere and mouth filling, being dry and nutty but having quite rich dried apricot, fresh peach fruit and honeysuckle flavours balanced by an excellent acid structure.

 

Selection Pinot Gris

Selection Pinot Gris

 

Nose: Lifted fresh pears and honeydew melon aromas with hints of ginger and spice.

Palate: Medium bodied wine with lifted tropical fruit characters typical of the grape – juicy pears and honeydew melon. These flavours are balanced by crisp acids and a generous mouthfeel.

 

Selection Chardonnay

Nose: Lifted ripe peaches aromatics with hints of citrus with carefully integrated French oak.

Palate: An enjoyable mouthfeel filled with white stonefruit, melon and citrus zest flavours all balanced with the presence of creamy oak and integrated acidity. Lingers for some time after the last swallow.

 

Bin 62 Cabernet Shiraz Malbec

Nose: Concentrated aromas of cherry berry fruit with hints of blackberry, chocolate and toasty vanillin oak.

Palate: Excellent rich dark cherry fruit flavours backed by layers of chocolate and spice characters. Maturation in new and one-year-old French and American oak has added further complexity, giving the wine its smooth texture and fine, grainy tannins.
