Winemaking

Our winemaking follows traditional methods. We use techniques such as hand plunging, basket pressing, minimal fining and filtration. We use small batch fermentation, to achieve layers of complexity, helped with careful oak selection and no blending until the end of maturation to keep every parcel of grapes individual.

Winemaking began in 2005 with Anton utilising some space at Cofields winery to make his first 5 tonne of Shiraz. We used our own barrels and tanks and were grateful for the loan of other equipment in order to make our first release.

2006 saw an increase in production to 13.5 tonnes and also in the range of varieties. We made a Shiraz, Marsanne, Grenache and Mourvedre for our red blend and a thimbleful of base wine for a sparkling Shiraz. The 2006 vintage has now been bottled and some will be released soon.

In 2007 we started production on site at Valhalla Wines. Our total tonnage this year was 20 tonnes. We added Viognier, Riesling and Durif to our crush this year.
