Opulent, heady whites, rich and silky, with intense aromas of apricot, yellow peach, mango, violet, honeysuckle and musky, honeyed notes. Discreet acidity, creamy finish.

High-altitude Queensland region (600-1,300 m), among the country's highest vineyards on granitic soils.

Firm Cabernet, ample Chardonnay. "Strange Birds" alternative speciality: saline Albariño, dense Saperavi, floral Fiano, smoky Pinotage.
