As dedicated grape and sheep farmers they have deep respect for provenance, husbandry and craftmanship in food and wine. Straight from the farm, these wines embody their connection to the land and their enjoyment of it through quality food and wine. Farm to Table wines are bright, generous and carefully blended to complement the softer texture of farm raised meat.

2017 was a very cool year, producing lighter, finer style red wines. This wine is blended from Shiraz parcels from a number of distinctly different Central Victorian sites all which create amazing complexity in the wine.

The fruit for this wine was picked from three vineyards across Victoria – Boort Estate, Tallis Vineyards and our own Upton Run vineyard. The fruit was fermented in in an open stainless steel fermenter. It was then matured for nine months in a combination of old French (70%) and American (30%) oak.
