Planted in 1991 and added to the Penny's Hill estate vineyard group in 1993, Malpas Road is named after the pioneering family who held lands in what was originally referred to as Bay of Biscay. A reference to the relatively infertile cracking, grey black soil upon which the hand tended Shiraz patch does its work. The fissures which occur as the black soils crack apart, sever surplus root structure, a process which lessens vine vigor and enhances the virtue of the grape. Unmistakably McLaren Vale, even more so Penny's Hill.

$2199each $263DOZEN EACH DOZEN Shiraz is sourced from the Malpas Road site and the elevated aspects of Penny's Hill. Detailed canopy management, judicious irrigation and devoted viticultural practices contribute to the quality of these exceptional parcels of Shiraz. To best reflect the variations in terroir across the vineyards, harvest of individual parcels is conducted on different days. Fruit is crushed, de-stemmed and vinified on skins in static and open fermenters for a week. Some free run and pressings complete ferments and eighteen months maturation in a selection of new and seasoned French oak barrels. Parcels are kept separate throughout the process to preserve the individual character of site within the final assemblage.

Dark cherry red colour. Currant and blueberry fruit fragrances with a lifted violet perfume, followed by spice and lightly toasted French oak. Lovely primary forest fruits and red currants with traces of spice and silky milk chocolate tannins at the finish. Ready to drink alongside steak and vegetables.

The Edwards are a well established family of agriculturalists with a long history of farming McLaren Vale for generations. Their eponymous road runs along the valley foothills, the land on the north side of the road is now established to fully mature vines which are the source of Cabernet Sauvignon for Penny's Hill. A generously proportioned, single vineyard wine with a real sense of place, articulating the uniqueness of site, enhanced by extended maturation in a good measure of new oak, McLaren Vale Cabernet at its finest.

$2199each $263DOZEN EACH DOZEN The loam over clay soils at Edwards Road were established to Cabernet vines in 1993. The five acres site is surrounded by a rich diversity of flourishing native flora and fauna, all supported by the ecologically sustainable land management of the vineyard. Fruit is harvested off hand tended, low yielding narrow planted rows of vine which run north to south down the sloping site. Grapes are destemmed and crushed, parcels are separately fermented on skins for a week at temperatures peaking to 30C. Batches are pressed and returned with the free run juices, into a high proportion of new French and American oak barrels for sixteen months maturation, before assembling into the finished wine.

Deep bright red colour. Rich, red fruit nose, spices and savoury earth bouquet. Hints of black cherry, plum and a caramel sweetness are embedded within the many layers of complexity. An extraordinary weight of fruit on the palate, Edwards Road exudes McLaren Vale Cabernet vegetal fruit flavours, finishing on a generous length of exquisitely drying tannins.

From a single block of ancient, pre clonal Grenache vines, painstakingly trained to reduce vigor and increase concentration of flavour in the berries. Grapes are all hand picked and open fermented, gently hand plunged throughout the course of a fortnight, pressed off skins and filled to a selection of well seasoned French oak hogsheads for a year's maturation on sediments. Vibrant cherry and raspberry, anise, savouryness and spice, seductive in its balance and complexity, elegance, supple tannins, old vine Grenache of exceptional generosity and length.
