The Favourite Son – Medal Winner
2022 Tempranillo
Best Drinking2023 – 2030
Tempranillo is proving to be ideally suited to the climate of Gundaroo in the Canberra region.
With its origins in Spain, this flamboyant variety produces rich, black grapes, leading to a wine of savoury character with rounded rich dark fruit flavours. It requires special attention in the vineyard with a longer ripening period than other varieties, leading to its status as The Favourite Son. Our Tempranillo is feisty yet balanced, just like our two favourite sons, Ben and Sam.

The Gundaroo Cabbie – Trophy & Medal Winner
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
Best Drinking2023 – 2033
Our Cabernet Sauvignon draws its character from the unique terrain and cool climate ripening period at Gundaroo in the Canberra wine district.
This vintage is a full-bodied wine with dark fruit characteristics, and refined tanins, savoury on the palate. While born and raised in Europe, it is a typical Aussie battler, with a rich character and lots of stories to tell. This wine celebrates the community of Gundaroo, a small town with a big heart. There are no cabbies in Gundaroo, just good people helping each other out.
