Our Tradition is a ‘cellar blend’ of estate Pinot and grower Syrah. The greatest Australian wines I have ever tasted were made by Hunter legend Maurice O’Shea in the 1940s and ’50s. These wines were blends of Syrah and Pinot, and they have inspired this blend (and the label), which we make only in suitable years. This release is a blend of 50% Pinot from our own vines, in Macedon and 50% Syrah from Heathcote and Harcourt. The 2023 is 50% Pinot and 50% Syrah. It was raised in a mix of mostly neutral large and small oak and was bottled in December 2024. Made with 80% whole bunches, it’s a bright, perfumed, juicy wine packed with brambly fruit and all sorts of spice. Less than 3,000 bottles were made this year. It’s already very approachable, yet we think it will age well. Grab some for now and some for later.

“Fine, sleek and slick red, more pinot than syrah, if you get my drift, or read on and find out. Red cherry, white mushroom, tarragon and lemon verbena, white pepper, crunch of green capsicum, a touch of resinous pipe tobacco shot through. It’s a fine, light weight, zesty red wine with some slightly jangly characters between fruit, spice and mineral elements, finishes soundly and with length, a bit watercolour but the grippy texture does well to stay the course, albeit the finish a bit gummy right now. I’d wait a bit to drink, but there’s pleasing things happening now.”
