Silky with nutmeg and vanilla flavours. Produced from from the Hilltops region in NSW, a region known for producing elegantly long lived wines.

Palate: An upfront bouquet of blackberry and pepper, rounded by subtle hints of vanilla and oak. This juicy Shiraz is bound to satisfy even the most stubborn of palates. Region South Eastern Australia.
Our Long Flat Cabernet Merlot is a blend that we have refined over forty vintages. The Cabernet contributes structure and ripe blackcurrant characters, which are complemented by the plum and berry characters of the Merlot. They create just the right balance of juicy flavour, depth of colour and fine grained tannins. This Long Flat Red has always had a strong following because of its “drinkability”.
This Merlot displays the aroma of dark berries and green olives. The palate is rich and soft, full of dark berry and chocolate characters. We believe this is a great example of what Merlot is like as a straight varietal. This Merlot is an easy drinking style making it a wine that everyone enjoys.
Our Long Flat Shiraz Viognier is a vibrant, soft and fruit driven wine. Vibrant red with pink hues, and a bouquet of lifted violets, orange blossom and honey undertones. An easy drinking, medium bodied wine with soft velvet tannins. The perfume fruit characters of the viognier linger on the palate whilst the shiraz adds structure and depth to the palate.
Mostly known for its red wines, the Rouge Homme range includes Shiraz Cabernet, Cabernet Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as one white wine, Rouge Homme Unoaked Chardonnay.
Free draining soils and cool, slow ripening conditions allowed the grapes to develop intense varietal flavours. Exhibits aromas of blackberry, mint and spice, palate is medium to full bodied with sweet blackberry flavours with tobacco and mint.
Wine flavours of rich dark berries, chocolate and earthy characters. Low yields and careful management in the vineyard produce wines of elegance, complexity and true varietal character.
Wine produced in Chile. A unique blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmernere gra[es. the long lost French varietal, dissapeared in France in the 19th Century from philloxera. This varietal was rediscovered in Chile, almost growing wild. This wine, has a ruby red colour with a delicate chocolate aroma also reminiscent of vanilla, coffee and butterscotch. It has a powerful body and is full to the palate, with a soft and generous long finish.
