WINES FROM A FARR
IRREWARRA IS AN ABORIGINAL WORD MEANING ‘LONG SPEAR THROW’
Site
Unique
The soils across the slope of the site are a mixture of grey sandy clay loams at the south end to dark brown loams with fragments of buckshot and quartz gravels towards the north. All with underlying brown to yellow clays.
Overall the soils remain very moist throughout the year because of the clay based soil profile and annual rainfall of 885mm, resulting in the very attractive damp earthiness character in the fruit and wine.
It is a site that truly reflects the complexities and varietal characters of the vines that are planted in this cool climate region.

Unyielding Quality
These are wines that are built around the seasons in which they are grown, the sense of place, and an expression of emotion.
Chardonnay 2022
A deliciously mineral and slippery drink. An array of citrus and complexity lined with a fantastic backbone of acidity. Perhaps a bottle to be consumed by yourself.

Pinot Noir 2021
Sit back and take in the aromas from a glass of this pinot as you think about sitting at the top of the vineyard surrounded by cows, water, grass and all things Western District farming.
Sweat and sour cherries, earth, spice and a lovely elegant structure.
Vineyard
Uncompromising
The vineyard sits at the top of the slope facing large water reserves ‘Salt Lake’ and the ‘Calvert Lough’ to the north.
It is a site that shows great fruit expression with a deceptively long and mineral palate. Vintage occurs during April after quite a long growing season.
