Overview

Our Personal Reserve range represents the pinnacle of our wines and is exclusive to the Hunter Valley cellar door. A classic Hunter Valley Shiraz made from old low yielding vines on the Bainton Vineyard in the Lower Hunter Valley.

The vines on the Bainton Vineyard were planted in 1940 on a duplex soil overlying an old stream bed. Given that this was the second year in a strong drought the vines were still able to produce premium fruit be it at low yields. The style produced is in the mould of the classic Hunter Reds and the low pH gives it a mouthfeel that is perfect with food.
