Brian Anderson, and his son Ben, purchased 32 acres of land in Lenswood, Adelaide Hills in 1994 and developed it into a vineyard. The family focuses on producing high quality wine grapes and premium wines. Since Brian's passing, Ben and his wife Clare have continued to run the family business.

A South Australian staple, this vintage of shiraz saw cool night and warm days lending to a graceful twist. Full bodied blackberries and prunes with white pepper and spice is rounded out by seasoned French Oak. This classic Adelaide Hills shiraz has an amazing length with smooth mouth coating tannins.

This is both warm and rich, its flavours reaching to all corners, but then it's spicy and meaty too. It's an excellent example of what the Adelaide Hills can do with shiraz. Sweet cherries, an array of roasted nut and deli meat characters, plum-filled depths and rounds of black pepper, cloves, anise and gum leaf. It's complex, full bodied, structured and moreish.
