"My life as a boutique artisan winemaker is an ongoing journey…

…to hand craft character filled grapes from our Stonewell Hill and Stelzer Road vineyards into a bloody delicious range of wines… "

Featured Wines

2007 Eden Valley Riesling
The new release I urge you to judge first by its cover!!! Inside; delicate crisp and pure. Perfect palate pleaser for those who love a wine with finesse.

2003 Alexander's Reward Cabernet Sauvignon 60% Shiraz 40%
A brand new release of an iconic Australian Style. 3 years in oak, 2 years in the bottle equals five years of integration that is a seamless joy to behold!

Mals Blend n.v. 2007 bottling
An ultra small batch wine that is incredible to drink. Soft full rich and smooth! I made this wine for my vineyard maestro Mal Rogers… and there was just enough to share. Bloody delicious and rare!!!
