Tasting Notes
A single vineyard Yarra Valley Cabernet Franc, made as a full carbonic maceration 100% whole bunch ferment with indigenous yeasts and no additions other than a small amount of sulphur dioxide at picking and bottling. The wine is left in barrel for 3 months only before being bottled unfiltered and unfined. - Winery Note
Ancient writings tell an endearing tale of Jamsheed, a Persian king who was said to be able to see his kingdom in a cup of wine, and whose fondness for fresh grapes lead him to store them in jars over winter where they would inevitably spontaneously ferment and be set aside as 'poison'. One of King Jamsheed's harem, despairing of frequent migraines, chooses to commit suicide by drinking from a poisoned jar. She wakes to find herself miraculously cured, informs her king who is most pleased and sets about making many jars of 'poison' and thus wine was discovered. - Gary Mills
