2007 Pyramid Hill Semillon      

Our Semillon vines thrive in the sandy soils along the banks of the Goulburn River in the Upper Hunter Valley. Shallow rooted and delicate, Semillon reacts quickly and dramatically to extremes of weather. 2007 was a very dry year and these drought conditions encouraged low crop level and exceptionally small berries with intense flavour. The resulting wine has excellent balance and structure and can be drunk now but will also develop further character and complexity over the next few years.

2005 Pyramid Hill Shiraz 

 Our Shiraz vines are grown on a slope of red clay overlooking the Goulburn River in the Upper Hunter Valley. The natural resistance of the soil makes the vines work hard for their water and nutrients, and this in turn encourages the production of smaller berries and fruit of intense flavour and colour. The dry conditions that characterized the 2005 vintage have resulted in a wine that, after maturing for 18 months in oak barrels, displays elegance and richness of both structure and palate.
