James' Review
A traditional winery with a rich history and just over 20ha of priceless old vines; while the white wines have been variable, the red and fortified wines can be very good. Of particular interest is Block 6 Shiraz, made from 120+-year-old vines; both vines and wines are going from strength to strength. Celebrates its 130th anniversary in 2020. Exports to the US, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Thailand and China.
