Our 'Big Bully' represents a small parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon selected from our estate grown Wrattonbully vineyard. A rich, ripe and powerful wine defined by concentrated blackcurrant and blackberry fruit flavours and reinforced by high quality french oak.
Eminating from the Hilltops, a first for Briar Ridge Vineyard, this Shiraz is grown in a relatively cool climate. This enables us to ferment with whole bunches and macerate skins for an extended time to create a distincly Rhone-inspired wine.
Limited Release Reds
Our 2019 Limited Release 'Cool Climates' Merlot was made from a combination of our cool climate, estate vineyards in Wrattonbully, South Australia and Orange, New South Wales. Ripe black and red plum fruits are framed by subtle savoury complexity and supple tannin.
From the highly regarded Hillrose vineyard in Hilltops, NSW, this is a classic Australian blend. Fragrant blackberry and bayleaf aromas lead to a medium bodied and fresh palate of mulberry, blackberry and cedar from maturation in French oak barrels. Will reward with cellaring.
