This selection brings together two extraordinary wines from vastly diverse landscapes. Side by side, they tell the stories of two Countries - the coastal maritime climate of Kaurna Country in South Australia and the pristine alpine elevation of Djab Wurrung Country in Victoria's high country.
The wines:
2022 Syrah | Kaurna Country (McLaren Vale, SA)
Our McLaren Vale Syrah was hand-harvested before dawn and fermented with 10% whole bunches. Aromas of blueberry, dark cherry, and spice open to a medium-full palate of vibrant fruit, cacao, and warming spice, with the fine, sandy tannins that McLaren Vale's Blewitt Springs soils are known for.

2023 Syrah | Djab Wurrung Country (Grampians, VIC)
From Djab Wurrung Country in the Grampians, a cooler, more restrained expression. Sandstone-rich soils and a cool, wet vintage shaped a wine of dark berries, earthy spice, and florals, layered with fresh fruit, tar, and a hint of cocoa. Matured in French oak, it carries a long, refined finish. Ready to enjoy now or cellar for up to 15 years.
Comparative tasting notes, pronunciation guides, and an illustrated map of the two regions are included with the wines.
