A nail-biting finale to the 2022 growing season saw the vineyard lashed by fierce winds and rainy squalls. Yet the shiraz slowly developed both an array of dark fruit aromatics and lush, juicy fruit weight and developed fine and complete tannins, highlighting the granitic minerality of the site and the complexity formed by farming in a marginal yet consistent site.

Bright red and purple hues, with lifted cherry and plum spice aromas. The palate is mid bodied in style, fleshy and rounded, finishing with a light freshness.

Our flagship Shiraz is sourced from the highest and most central point of the vineyard, where the terroir results in a wine of great balance and plushness, framing bright fruit in velvety fine tannins and muscular power.

This wine displays vibrant blackberries, currants, and subtle spicy aromas. The palate displays flavours of dark fruits, spice and savouriness which persist through to a long, dry finish. It is a medium bodied, cool climate style shiraz of both power and complexity, with silky tannins and a refined delicacy. A shiraz to be enjoyed with fine food and friends.

Our Scarlet Ladybird Rosé is made in our house style and always comes up smelling of roses with lovely delicate ladylike edges, yet a real lady killer…and remember ladies and gentlemen, real men do drink pink.

Aromas of lime pith, jasmine, white citrus blossom, pomelo, grapefruit. The palate shows golden delicious apple; ripe green lime; passionfruit; tangerine; orange blossom; round, ripe and rich with a fine mineral edge; good length and generosity.

Inky purple. Classic Cabernet aroma of blackcurrant. The wine is medium bodied with primary flavours of blackcurrant and bay leaf, layered with secondary cedar and chocolate. Velvety soft tannins and a long finish.

This is a very complex wine which will reward cellaring.  Primary characters are pineapple, peach, nectarine, grapefruit peel, and fig, layered with secondary savoury notes from yeast autolysis and a touch of hazelnut and cashew with elegant French oak overtones on the finish.

Another beautiful vintage in a long line of wonderful Rieslings from Duke's Vineyard. From a cooler vintage but with all the power, drive and grace you have come to expect. The '22 is a many-layered blend of the depth of the older block with the complexity of the young block. Lovely fruit/acid balance. Very pale straw, flinty green hues; aromas of lime zest, Meyer lemon, lemon sherbet, hints of cucumber and green melon; palate of lemon and lime, hints of white citrus blossom, soft powdery textural acidity, long, mineral, elegant. One to age.

This is seductively composed and enticing, showing dark berry, thyme, smoked game, earthy mushroom and roasted nut aromas on the nose. The sensually pleasing palate delivers fine flow and complex flavours, finishing wonderfully long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2030. - Sam Kim (Wine Orbit)
