Coliban Valley
The vineyard is set amongst the picturesque rolling hills of the Coliban River valley, at the southern end of the Heathcote wine region. The site was carefully chosen for its volcanic soil and climate, which is ideal for fully ripening fruit to produce wines of intense colour, flavour and aroma. There are four hectares under vine, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz planted. All wines are estate grown, produced and bottled.The first release was the 2001 Cabernet Merlot which received several bronze medals. The 2002 Cabernet Merlot, was awarded a gold medal and the Frangos & Frangos Trophy for "The best Cabernet or Cabernet blend" at the 2003 Daylesford Wine Show. The 2004 vintage includes Shiraz, Cabernet sauvignon, Cabernet Merlot & Merlot and has been awarded a 5-star rating in James Halliday's 2007 Australian Wine Companion.
