Tasting Note: When the opportunity to purchase six bottles of a 28 year old Australian red come along, you don't ask "what is it like?". You go "yes please, can I have more?". Then you get told, no!

Producer: Stuart Hooper was a successful businessman with a passion for everything about wine. He envisioned creating a vineyard that would produce Australian wine of a quality to emulate the great regions of France.

In the early 1970's Stuart selected a plot of land in the Moorabool Valley near the township of Bannockburn. A promising site with the desirable soil composition consistent with quality viticulture and a rich history of premium wine grape production dating back to the 1870's. The initial plantings were shiraz vines. Before long, more land was acquired, more vines and varieties planted - the story had begun.

Althought Stuart passed away, his family still continue his legacy to this day.
