Our Vineyards
"Our family vineyard is located in the picturesque and historic Padthaway valley, 300 km south of Adelaide. Our rich, fertile terra rosa soils,
environmentally friendly viticulture, low yield and exceptional fruit is how we consistently produce outstanding wines. Small parcels of the highest quality
fruit are selected from our family vineyard and handcrafted to create wines with amazing depth of flavour, style and balance…" (David Bryson)
Winemaking Notes
This non vintage wine sparkles to the tune of a well balanced blend; predominantly 3 year old Shiraz aged in old French oak barrels allowing wonderful
smooth integration of fruit and a rich weighty texture across the palate. This is blended with a touch of younger vintage Shiraz to bring ripe juicy
varietal fruit characters to the finished wine.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson colour with brick red mousse and a fine bead. The aroma displays ripe plums, earthy notes and spice. Mouthfilling flavours of plums
and prunes with hints of liquorice. Soft, creamy with a persistent cherry, chocolate and spice finish.

The Myth of Jip Jip Rocks
Massive granite boulders stand out against the background and can be seen some distance away. Many interesting outcrops, such as balancing rocks and a rock which
looks like an elephant from a distance, the largest is 7 metres in height.
Geologists predict the pink granite outcrops are at least 350 million years old.
Aboriginal people will not venture near the rocks at night for fear that a large spirit dingo will devour them. The creature with feet like that of an enormous kangaroo has large eyes that glow red at night. It disappears in to the nearby white sands by day and slinks amongst the boulders at night.
In 1967 Jip Jip Rock and 143 ha of natural bush land was proclaimed the Jip Jip Conservation Park.
Jip Jip Rocks are a "dreaming site" for Aboriginal men - The true meaning can't be disclosed (only to aboriginal people) it is a highly significant and sacred site. A tribal elder is the only one who can invite other aborigines to visit the area during the day.
The Morambro Creek flows in to the Jip Jip Rock’s water course.
