Single Vineyard

There is something very special about a single vineyard wine. The wine captures and intertwines the soul and character of the vineyard, the beat of nature and the heart and personality of the winemaker.

| Awards | Tasting Notes |

Having produced many classic, memorable wines, the Old Hill and Old Paddock vineyards – established in 1880 and 1921 respectively – have firmly established their places among Australia’s premier vineyards.

Affectionately known as ‘OP&OH’, this wine is entirely sourced from the Old Paddock (planted in 1921) and Old Hill (planted in 1880) vineyards. Hand picked in February, grapes are crushed and cold soaked for 24 hours prior to fermentation on skins, which takes place over 8-9 days in headed-down stainless steel containers, with pumping over twice daily. The wine is then pressed and transferred into new American and French oak hogsheads where primary and malolactic fermentation is completed. Every six months, the wine is racked off and returned to the same oak for a maturation period of 18 months.
