Fusing quality grapes with contemporary winemaking, wines with distinct, varietal character. The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying sizes and styles where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures which allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation most of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks and the remaining is transferred onto French and American oak.

The Tempus Two Silver Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium to full bodied wine with generous length and a persistent, smooth finish.  Alc 13%

Aroma: Intense aromas of dark fruits followed by hints of mocha spice.

Palate: Blackberry and plum fruit flavours dominate upfront lead by notes of cinnamon and clove. The acid is balanced, and tannins are evident, but are ripe and smooth.

The 2018 Vintage was the hottest year on record and will be regarded as one of Audrey Wilkinson's greatest years for red wines for the level of fruit intensity, with the Lake Shiraz being the pinnacle. Set next to the spring fed dam near the back gate of the property this shiraz block is referred to simply as ‘The Lake’. Floral, fresh fruit aromas lift from this wine with a tightly wound red and blue fruit core on the palate supported with subtle use of French oak for structure and typical Hunter Shiraz notes of dark spice for complexity.

95 Points | James Halliday Wine Companion

“Grown on the old vine Lake block on the estate vineyard, 15% whole-bunch fermented, matured in French puncheons. Lots of gamey, savoury, earthy regional character on the bouquet, but the red berry fruit is the anchor. It’s generously built in Hunter terms, ripe and flavoursome, but the palate length and tannin are the outstanding features.” – Steven Creber

Audrey Series Shiraz 2021

Colour: Dark – medium red colour with violet hues.

Bouquet: Intense cherries, violets, dark chocolate and iodine.

Palate: Powerful blackberry and mulberry fruits, with an intense but mineral tannin structure.

Add on a hand-crafted Cuvee Amphora Chocolate designed to match with Shiraz(+$11) to take this gift to the next level:

A chocolate made using one of the rarest cocoa beans in the world.“Rich, diverse, unique”, our chocolate makers first notes after tasting the Piura Blanco for the first time. A native white cocoa bean from the ancient rainforests of Peru.

Let us take you on a sensory journey… starting with macerated summer berries and transitioning into an almost rum raisin experience that is so closely followed by its subtle chocolatey notes. You will not believe that what you are tasting is indeed “only” a 65% chocolate.

Amphora Chocolate Pairs well with: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Grenache, Shiraz, Sangiovese
