To ensure the unique character of this sub-region is exemplified in the wine, small open fermenters and our basket press were employed to gently extract the wine. Aging in the finest quality oak for 18 months and selection of the truest barrels has created a wine that respects and expresses its place of origin.
Marananga, centred in the North West quadrant of the Barossa provides some of the Valley’s most powerful wines. The red brown clay loam soils with schists and siltstone yield flavours of jam and black forest cake, cardamom, blueberry fruits, cocoa powder on a long full bodied palate.

This is one of the most distinctive parts of the Barossa, with the red brown clay soils yielding wines of tremendous poise and structure with a thread of iron stone a subtle character. On the nose traces of dusty earth and spicy black fruits emerge. The savoury ironstone characters of the palate complement the deep fruit flavours, supported by firmish sinewy tannins. A distinctive wine that reflects its origins.
