Located in the Yarra Valley, 65 kilometres northeast of Melbourne, the thousand candles farm is a historic, sprawling property that stretches over 1100 acres. It comprises of vineyards, cattle pastures, and native bush.

Another very well-made and priced wine from Stuart Proud at Thousand Candles. A very bright purple is a good introduction to a wine redolent of black cherries, violets, cracked pepper and clove. Medium bodied, with ripe, gently grippy tannins providing structure, finishing floral and long.
