Description:

When we bought the vineyard the locals called it a fruit salad block, which is why the big companies overlooked it when everyone was clamouring for Barossa vineyard in the 1990s. "Fruit salad" means there were eight different varieties – most were unsuited to the climate in this part of the Barossa. The traditional idea was that prices can't be bad for everything every year - a sort of each way bet. The old Silesians were pretty sharp. We kept the old Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Merlot vines and over the years have replaced with the other varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro and Tempranillo.
