The range of wine is crafted from their mature, pristine vineyards and grapes specifically selected to produce expressive, pure fruit wines reflecting the unique Mudgee soils. As little intervention is used as possible with minimal irrigation and chemical spraying, all factors that go into producing local wine characters.
Four lucky subscribers will each win a mixed half dozen of their 2009 Rose and 2008 Pinot Gris.
