This wine is a life celebration of our family patriarch, Frank Wynyard Butcher, a horticultural scientist who throughout his career was attracted to experimenting with diverse and innovative plant species. Through this fascination with research, he imbued a love for something different and hence our quest for alternative grape varieties; which is a hallmark of this red blend.

[2018 Vintage] – 93 Points by Nick Stock for JamesSuckling.com, Oct 2020
“Three disparate varieties combined to make a complete if generous wine. It’s full of very ripe fruit, lots of tannins but it’s fleshy and open… 91 Points.”
Jane Faulkner, 2022 Halliday Wine Companion, August 2021 [2019 Vintage]
“Intense and deep ruby hue. Blackberry, tobacco leaf and iodine aromas. A deep and savoury palate that shows the art of blending. There’s character and complexity throughout with everything in balance. Great length and a bright, dry finish. 94 Points.”
Stuart Knox, The Real Review, March 2021 [2019 Vintage]
“This has an attractive, complex nose with ripe dark berries, terra cotta, pepper and cloves. Dried flowers and leafy notes, too. The palate has a smooth, blackberry, dark-plum and blackcurrant core. Ripe yet restrained style here. 93 Points.”
