The Downer family has been farming the fertile soils of the Onkaparinga Valley since 1939. In this time, there have been many cattle grazing, hens laying, potatoes grown, and flowers picked, but in 1998 the family made the transition into grape-growing and haven’t looked back. 

The estate vineyard is located behind the township of Oakbank, in the eastern Adelaide Hills. 20 hectares of sandy loam with influences of schist, shale rock-formations, pockets of sandstone and veins of quartz and ironstone, combined with an altitude of over 1100 feet, make for a great home for cool climate varieites: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah all grow happily – and organically – here.

Winemaker Notes

Bright, supple, and varietally correct, this wine delivers all the pleasure and versatility you could want in an early-drinking Bordeaux blend. Red fruited, with flavors of quandong (a red native peach), red currant, and plum. The savory notes are persistent and playful, of green bell pepper and strawberry acacia. Easy but complex.
