Viognier is for the adventurous of spirit and one for those that tread the figurative untrodden path. Experimentation is the catch cry of the Edition Noir label and is also the spice one can inject into their own life. Be a leader and not a follower. 

This Chardonnay is very much crafted in the image of the wonderful wines of Eastern "Hexagon" (France).  The nose displays beautiful lemon and orange blossom.  The slightest hints of elderflower evokes musings of summer as this wine intends.

To us, Reserve doesn't just mean the best we can make, it has to be special. The last time we released a Reserve Shiraz was in 2011.  Now we don't want to blow smoke up our own trumpet... but the 15 may be our best ever.  Sublime in its elegence, pepper and spice abounds with layers of flavour making every taste alluring and different.

Something new, something unseen, something virgin.  We chose Pinot Noir and a small amount of Pinot Gris to create Pinot Vierge.  Purity is the catch-cry. One to remember, one to talk about.

 

Our Shiraz is mid-weight in structure yet concentrated in flavour. We want drinkers of fine wine to desire a second and third glass rather than be floored by one single alcoholic brute. Each sip should taste different than the last, the drinker should experience subtle nuances each and every visit so the discovery of flavour isn’t limited to a single melody. 

The palate is reminiscent of its Old World roots which enjoy pairing with herbal overtones.  Blueberry and liquorice aromas.  Full bodied palate with ripe plums, black tea, cacao nib and rounded tannins.  

Once upon a time in Australian Viticulture,Pinot Noir and Shiraz were liberally blended.  The wines were wonderful and paired perfectly with our local cuisine. Today, thankfully this beautiful style has earnt it's stage once again. 

Commanding attention in every aspect, this cool climate beauty has quite a story to tell, pioneered in Australia by the Cassegrains; it has been 10 years since we released our last Chambourcin and now after much anticipation here it is.
