NOTES
The eleven acre vineyard is located 10kms south of Clare in the picturesque Skilly Hills, adjacent to the Spring Gully Conservation Park, Mitchell Wines and Kilikanoon Wines.
When purchased by Ray and Lynette Klavins, the thirty five acre property was covered with Salvation Jane, truckloads of rubbish, and consisted of a derelict, ancient, dairy/shearing shed and an equally ancient, tumbled down piggery. But ... it was in a wonderful location, had fabulous views and would grow good grapes. It just needed huge amounts of work. In 1994 the roads went in, the dam was enlarged and the Cabernet Sauvignon was planted with the help of family and friends. The Shiraz and Semillon followed in 1996.
TASTING NOTES
Bright, clear pale straw with slight green tinge; an intensely aromatic nose with lifted lemon, lime and orange blossom scents. The palate displays exceptional balance and length. The intense concentration of citrus fruit is complemented by refreshingly clean, zesty acidity on the finish. Glorious with oysters or freshly caught fish or simply as a deckchair wine when you're not having a beer.
REVIEWS
Fresh citrus blossom aromas lead into a bright and lively palate, with intense but fine citrus and apple flavours; delicious finish to an elegant wine. Screwcap. 12.5% alc. Rating 94 Drink 2019 James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
