Western Victorian shiraz meets a little European style and elegance. A bouquet of cassis, mulberries, blueberries and dark plums knit with cedar/chocolate oak is laced with spice and cracked pepper. Medium to fullish in weight, it's long and richly fruited, extending down a powdery spine towards a savoury and charmingly balanced finish of mouthwatering acids.

Clarnette
Leigh Clarnette is an experienced hand at winemaking with a long history in and affection for the wines of western Victoria. For his sins, his time at Roseworthy College (studying winemaking) coincided with mine. His wines are typically made from small individual vineyards whose choice of variety have been strongly influenced by site and aspect. The cornerstone feature of Leigh's modern wines are their elegance, depth of varietal expression, plus a style trait that is more European than so-called traditional Australian. Typically, they deliver in terms of flavour and value.
