Cru Lagaillarde (Bordeaux Superieur) The top selection of the property, produced from a majority of cabernet sauvignon and old vines of cabernet franc, this has been a sure bet for over ten years, produced from vines that are well balanced and produce just the right amount of fruit, able to ripen even the latestdeveloping cabernet sauvignons. Chosen from the oldest plots, the grapes for Lagaillarde are picked the last of all. Two small lots of our best vats are transferred directly into 10 oak barrels where they spend 18 months before producing 3,000 bottles of a dark, rich and profound wine.

Chateau Mirambeau Papin (Bordeaux Superieur) These plots of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc are over 10-years old, carefully-selected clones, and give the best grapes of the property. Between 10 and 12 hectares depending on the vintage, producing 40,000 to 60,000 bottles. Late harvest, long maceration, gentle stirring of the lees, and finally ageing for 12 months in barrels of the best French oak. (Voted as top 111 wines by The Wine Kingdom magazine)

Watershed AWAKENING Cabernet Sauvignon *Jimmy Watson Trophy Finalist
(LISTED AS BEST OF THE BEST IN JAMES HALLIDAY BOOK 2010)

Grape Varieties: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Specially selected parcels of cabernet sauvignon have been blended together to produce this wine for the Awakening Range. The wine has a complex aroma of ripe plums and blackcurrants, mixed with mocha and dark chocolate. These fruity characters are enhanced by lifted smoky spice aromas which are the result of maturation in fine grained oak barrels. (very limited stock available) James Halliday: Dense crimson-purple; super-luscious and rich blackcurrant fruit is perfectly balanced by fine, persistent tannins and quality oak. Must has gone perilously close to winning the Jimmy Watson Trophy 09. Screwcap. Rating 96 Drink 2027 Pondalowie Vineyard Blend (Shiraz/Cabernet/Tempranillo) Grape Varieties: Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon / Tempranillo A spin on the traditional Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet, this wine is created by harvesting the three varieties at the same time then co-fermenting them. The combination is fascinating and very drinkable! Lifted aromas of dark cherries and raspberries, cinnamon, nutmeg and subtle toasty oak intensify on the soft, rounded palate that is in great balance with its lingering finish. Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years. James Halliday: Vibrant purple-red; an unlikely marriage, but a successful one; supple and smooth medium-bodied black fruits; balanced tannins, good oak.
