Awards & reviews

VINTAGE 2017
“Yarran crafts admirable wines offering real value, none more than this thirst-slaking dry, highly attractive rose. The colour is onion skin to pale pink rather than garish. The nose, crushed strawberry, jasmine and Mediterranean allusions. The wine rides along a vein of skinsy crunch and further textural detail following a fermentation kicked off by wild yeast, partly in barrel, some of it new. Stirring has imparted breadth and a gravitas belying the price.” 93 Points, James Halliday

“Light salmon-pink colour with a savoury, subdued but appealing bouquet. The palate is light and soft, simple and slightly sweet, with a green apple taste which lingers, and slight grip. An eccentric style, but it works OK.” Huon Hooke

2017 Heathcote Shiraz

Winemakers notes

WHOLE BUNCH – Hand picked fruit is tipped directly into open ferment vessels, with no crushing, de-stemming or pumping.

HEATHCOTE – An ideal region for Shiraz with rich red soils and hard Cambrian rock.

SHIRAZ – A soft, silky style as a result of whole bunch fermentation and partial aging in French oak barrels.

Gold 2018 Cairns Wine Show

2017 Hilltops Shiraz

Winemakers notes

WHOLE BERRY – Fruit is picked as only berries with a selective harvester and delivered to the winery. No de-stemming or crushing takes place.

HILLTOPS – A cool climate, NSW vineyard with a strong heritage for quality was selected for this wine.

SHIRAZ – A spicy, violet and plush fruit style. Good intensity and length with a silky pepper finish.
