Ambriel is the angel of communication who guides us to truth and clarity.
The vineyard's yield has always been very low –- usually two tonnes or less.

From this small crop we get intense flavoured grapes, because the vine is working to develop the flavour in a smaller number of bunches.
18 months in French & American barrels have developed a rich, chocolaty Cabernet full of deep mulberries & blackberries, finishing with a long blackcurrants & cream palate. the 5 years we have rested it for have let these flavours develop.

HARVEST - April 2008

A new vintage, and this wine is massive for its price. Hold the bottle up to the light to see how dense it is if you don't believe me.

Intense blackberry and mocha neatly balanced with the vanilla from the French oak barrels. It finishes with an extremely long palate of dried mulberries and cigar box. Like all Koonara reds, this wine has a balanced sweetness to the finish, but has been fermented dry with no residual sugar, showing just how good the quality of the fruit was. The dense fruit and the soft tannins will allow this wine to age well until 2024.

Like the Cabernet, the 2006 Shiraz is sweet, yet with no fermentable sugar left, showing the balance in the vines. Near perfect Acid & Ph in the vineyard has created great varietal structure typical of premium cool climate shiraz. This Shiraz displays hints of pepper & cloves amongst the dense blackcurrants and smoked dark chocolate.

HARVEST - March 2010

The bouquet is fresh strawberries with a little lemon zest. A long finish, and due to very little residual sugar, doesn't get sticky sweet when it warms up in your glass on a barmy summers day.
Lemon zest and fresh strawberries. Let this wine age, and you will get some nice honeyed characters develop. Very long finish - a fantastic start to our first sparkling! HURRY ONLY LIMITED CASES OF 2010 LEFT.

Named after our 2 beautiful daughters (Lucy 15 months, Alice 2 weeks), this is what a good Pinot Gris is all about; Luscious white peach, lime, honey, musk & lychees. This wine is a complex, juicy little number which will become more complex with age, up to 2015.

Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are the same grape variety. Pinot Grigio in Italian, Pinot Gris in French. “Grigio” and “Gris” both meaning grey which is the hue present on the colour of the wine

In true Coonawarra style, this Cabernet has blackberry with chocmint slice characteristics, perfect for char grilled steak, schnitzel, or lamb back straps.

2007 was a year which saw well over 50% of Coonawarra devastated by October frosts early in the growing season. Like a phoenix from the flame, the grapes which survived being affected came through with the rest of the season being almost perfect.

Very elegant balance of rich cool climate Shiraz and oak. Blackberry and liquorice notes.
Incredible complexity for a wine at this price point. Aged for 12 months in a 100% oak barrels. No expense has been spared to create a wine with blistering value for money. The quality of the oak used can be seen in the very smooth subtle vanilla notes on the palate backing up the very dense fruit as seen by the colour in the glass. The lack of dusty notes shows that no oak chips were used in this wine.
