"2025 Mackenzie Rosé"
Hand picked Touriga grapes
01
Organic
Made from Touriga grapes hand picked from a local vineyard in the Locksley region just south of Euroa. The vineyard is as “organic” as possible: not irrigated, nor any chemicals used. The 2024/25 summer produced excellent fruit, giving the wine increased fruit flavour and colour.
02
Finest Grapes
Touriga (Touriga Nacional) is a traditional grape of Portugal considered by many to be Portugal’s finest. The grape is traditionally used in the blends for ports however is increasingly now used for delicious table wines.
03
Fermentation
Our 2025 Rosé was fermented in Oak Barrel, rather than traditional Stainless Steel. Fermentation was over several weeks, purposely lengthened at low temperature (10oC) with intent to produce a Rosé wine with broader structure, more mouth fill creamy wine than a more traditional crisp style Provence Rosé.
04
Pairing and Tasting
The 2025 Rosé being made from Touriga Nacional grape, Portugal’s national grape, pairs especially well with mediterranean style dishes; try with an antipasto of smoked salmon or smoke trout, or a platter of tapas. This Rosé will be the perfect addition to your summer picnic.
“The Mackenzie has lovely fruit, but also complexity is present. Very drinkable.”
"2025 Ebonie"
Cabernet Sauvignon / Petit Verdot
01
Varietals
Our 2025 Ebonie was made from a 50/50 field blend of handpicked Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes. This wine resulted from 300L of Free Run juice collected from the initial fermentation- allowed a barrel to be dedicated to Free Run juice only producing our delicate Ebonie wine.
02
Finest Grapes
We source the fruit through an association with a local Strathbogie vineyard that practices non-interventional viticulture. Non-irrigated and no chemicals used- the 2024-2025 season provided exceptional fruit.
Hand-picked, the fruit was crushed and allowed to cold soak for 3 days at 10C prior to fermentation commencement.
03
Fermentation
In keeping with our style of fruit-driven, elegant wines- fermentation was prolonged- using cooling, to hold fermentation temperatures below 25C. Fermentation continued over 2 weeks in stainless steel vats prior to pressing and transferring to oak barrels for secondary (Malo) fermentation. Malolactic fermentation finished after 4 weeks, with a final alcohol concentration of 12.2% achieved. Matured in oak for 12 months, Ebonie is a wine equally enjoyed chilled or at room temperature (15 – 20 C).
04
Pairing and Tasting
The Ebonie displays a sensitive characteristic, bright with subtle fruit flavours guaranteeing to be pleasing to all palates. Cabernet Sauvignon traditionally pairs well with meats, however our wine is a 50% blend with Petit Verdot giving the Ebonie delightful upfront fruit flavours. As such the Ebonie pairs well to more subtle foods such as roast lamb, risottos or creamy cheeses.
“A beautiful combination of fruit, making a light very easy drinking wine. Paired very well with seafood chowder.”
“A beautiful, easy drinking light red.“
“The Ebonie was a light and easy drinkable wine that was not too
heavy although still felt like a full bodied wine. A great fit with a Risotto or a cheese platter.“
