Winemaker Duane Coates has spent seasons working in Burgundy, the Rhone Valley and the Douro in Portugal. Combining these European experiences with his time in the Australian industry, he has dovetailed SEVEN grapes together, in the process creating a genuinely unique wine that delivers on all fronts. Raspberry on the nose, giving way to black cherries and gamey characteristics. Only 200 cases were made of this, so grab a bottle soon!
