David Stare's pioneering vision launched a new era of premium wine production in the Dry Creek Valley. Inspired by his travels throughout the traditional wine regions of France and Germany, Dave's focus was ever on quality. To persue this focus, small batch winemaking has been adopted because individual-lot winemaking promotes increased knowledge about how to manage each vineyard while offering maximum blending options and enhanced quality control.

Approximately 75-100 different wines are produced each vintage, where fining is the exception, not the rule.

Refined tropical flavours and a hint of orange blossom are underscored with a trace of nutty vanilla. A rich mid-palate and a lingering finish reflecting French oak ageing the Reserve is more round and creamy, full and well balanced. (12 x 75 cl)
