The consistent summer weather in 2019 allowed the Chardonnay grapes to ripen slowly without the pressure of days that were too hot or days that showered them with too much rain. This gift from nature resulted in a beautifully balanced wine with tropical fruit, citrus and a slight minerality winding down with a lovely long finish. Enjoy!

Our 2018 Oldfield Reserve Roussanne was naturally fermented in French Oak in a combination of small barriques and larger format barrels called puncheons. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged a further 12 months in the same barrels. This wine is medium bodied with a light creamy texture with hints of vanilla and oak spice with a nice long finish of preserved lemon and lime. 

The fruit for our 2017 Merlot vintage comes from the highest elevation on our Black Sage Bench Diamondback Vineyard where the berries tend to be smaller with lower yields. Fermentation are long and slow to ensure the gentle extraction of colour, tannin and flavour. The wine is matured for 18 months in French and Hungarian Oak barrels. The aroma is very vibrant with the zestyness of orange pekoe tea, black forest cake and hints of tapenade. There are some beautiful chocolate notes giving this wine a sweet aroma. The palate gives juicy black and red fruit such as currants, orange rind and licorice. Bright acidity gives this full bodied wine some great freshness and carries the finish nicely, with dense yet focused tannins. This Merlot would benefit from an hour decant before serving.
