The winery and vineyard, originally known as Killara Estate, was established in 1997 with Bill Downie as the original winemaker. Owner Stuart Proud took over wine making duties some 5 years ago.
The entire property has been bio-dynamically managed since 2010.
"Natural fermentation with 20% whole bunches, matured in older French oak. A super-bright crimson purple. Fully deserving of its gold medal at the 2022 Yarra Valley Wine Show, this opens with aromas of blackcurrant pastilles, boysenberries, black pepper, floral notes and a little charcuterie. Just as good on the medium-bodied, youthful and very well-balanced palate, which finishes with gently chewy, very fine-grained tannins and a little spice." 96pts | Phillip Rich | Halliday Wine Companion
