Structured Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, tobacco and earthy-herbal nuances, firm tannins and good ageing. Dominant reds (~73%), dry sunny climate tempered by cool nights, varied soils bordering the eponymous range.

Australian diversity from cool to temperate climate. Yarra Valley and Mornington: fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth), taut, mineral Chardonnay. Heathcote: structured Shiraz with black fruits, pepper and chocolate. Rutherglen, fortified capital: opulent sweet Topaque and Muscat (raisin, caramel, fig, roast notes).
