This wine is a tribute to the persévérance of these remarkable old vines having made the voyage by sea as rootlings from France to Glenrowan back in the late 1800’s. Surviving the ravages of time they valiantly prevail today dry grown and exposed to nature’s elements truly reflecting a unique piece of Australian wine history.

A heritage wine made as it would have been in the 1890’s with minimal intervention, open fermentation and basket pressing. Matured in French oak with half new and the balance seasoned. This low yielding single vineyard wine produced a mere three barrels for the 2012 vintage
