The Reflection Riesling is sourced from a single Vineyard in the Strathbogie Ranges, Taungurung Country. Nurtured by the dedicated grower Suzanne Taresch, the vineyard thrives on ancient granitic soils of low fertility. The region's warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights of late summer and early autumn foster the development of delicate aromatics and racy acidity, culminating in an intense, steely palate.

The grapes undergo a brief period of skin contact to impart a slight chewiness and a Germanic texture to the wine. Only free-run juice is used, leaving a touch of residual sugar at the end of fermentation to balance the crisp acidity. The nose reveals an intricate bouquet of herbs and spices, rosemary, thyme, and lavender, complemented by notes of yellow and green apples and preserved lemon. This is an alternative stylistic statement.

The blend of Rose varies from vintage to vintage, with either the majority or the entirety of the blend coming from Syrah, sourced from a single vineyard that sits in the heart of Yarra Valley, in the subregion Gruyere, Wurundjei Country. The vines sit on ancient shallow grey-brown sandy loam soil, and the vineyard is tended with a regenerative farming system focusing on biodiversity. Depending on the vintage, a small portion of Viognier or Riesling is also woven in, bestowing the wine with additional layers of aromatic allure.

A homage to the traditional Tavel Rosé, this wine is full-bodied, opulent, and concentrated, brimming with ripe red fruits and exotic herbs such as shiso and kaomoji. After a brief maceration on the skins, the grapes are basket-pressed directly into neutral barrels for spontaneous fermentation. The wine matures on its lees throughout the winter before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Its color boasts a deep, rich hue, evocative of ripe cherries.

The Yarra Valley Syrah is sourced from the same Gruyere vineyard in Wurundjeri Country, sitting on shallow sandy loam soil.

Grapes are picked later for peak ripeness while preserving their innate acidity. In the cellar, a restrained, minimalist approach is embraced, employing semi-carbonic maceration and partial stem inclusion to impart a nuanced spice. Fermentation is spontaneous, followed by secondary fermentation in neutral barrels. Bottled without fining or filtration, this wine epitomizes the variety's essence, with aromas of violet flowers seamlessly transitioning into notes of dark plum, blackberry, cracked pepper, and juniper. Savory tannins, imbued with an alpine character from whole bunches, add layers of complexity and depth. This is a refined expression of Syrah from a signature cool-climate region.
