Tasting Notes
The Drone is a southern Rhone-like blend of Grenache and Mourvedre. 2012 was an excellent vintage and this wine is full-bodied yet retains a level of restraint that is typical of Flaxman and Eden Valley reds.Flaxman Wines from the Eden Valley was established by Colin and Fiona Sheppard after they were bitten by the winemaking bug back in about 2004. They bought a little run down vineyard on the Flaxman Valley Road and set about the long process of revitalising the soil and vines. The results speak for themselves.
About the year 2004 Col and Fiona Shepard decided to move to the Eden Valley after Col spent a few months working vintage with a well known winery. You see he'd been bitten by the wine bug and so they relocated from Melbourne soon afterwards buying a little vineyard planted to Shiraz and Riesling. He makes Shiraz and Riesling from the home block and Cabernet, Grenache and Mataro from the vineyards of friends. Every wine is made with Col's care and attention where style and finesse are key to his wines.
