Our wines are crafted to enchant, inspire and reward over time.
Years ago, whilst travelling Europeโs great wine growing regions, I fell in love with northern Rhone Valley Shiraz. Of particular fascination was the Cรดte-Rรดtie โRoasted Slopeโ region. With pale limestone and mica slopes to the south-west. And brown slopes covered in schist and iron in the north-east.
Legend has it that Count Maugiron, who owned Cรดte-Rรดtie, had two beautiful daughters โ one blonde, the other, brunette. When he retired, he passed on the light south-west slopes to his blonde daughter and the dark north-east slopes to his brunette daughter. And, as the legend goes, this is how those slopes came to be known as โCรดte Blondeโ and โCรดte Bruneโ.ย Like the countโs daughters, these wines are all elegance, balance and complexity โ full of the character of their origins.
