The Maitre D'
WHO IS THE MAITRE D’?
The Maitre D’ was named after Sparky, who put himself through winemaking college as a left handed waiter.
TASTING NOTES:
Vibrant and generous, the 2023 Maitre D’ is packed with juicy red fruit that dances across the palate. Blackberries, milk chocolate, and soft herbal notes create an enticing aromatic profile. Subtle tannins and fragrant oak provide a gentle backdrop, allowing flavours of plum, cigar box, and mocha cream to shine through. This combination imparts remarkable depth and finesse to the wine.

WHAT IS THE ENCHANTED PATH?
Enchanted Path celebrates everyone’s magical journey in life.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2023 Enchanted Path is a masterful blend of Shiraz and Cabernet, two quintessential Australian varieties that harmonize beautifully. This vintage bursts with wild berries and fresh plum, offering an inviting nose accented by hints of cinnamon, dark chocolate, and subtle touches of pomegranate, cherry, and anise. On the palate, a symphony of flavours unfolds, revealing liquorice, mocha, blackberry, and plum, all complemented by delicate notes of vanilla. Fine, expansive tannins create a smooth mouthfeel, carrying the wine’s complex layers and evolving into a long, captivating finish.
