This is the venture of Danish-born, French-trained, Flying Winemaker (California, Spain and Chablis) Peder Rosdal and viticulturist Lionel Flutto. The establishment of the vineyard dates back to 1995, with new plantings in 2004 and '08 of shiraz (with the lion's share of 2.7 ha), cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and tempranillo. The vines are dry-grown on the famed red Cambrian soil, and the wines are made onsite using hand-plunging, basket press and (since 2004) French oak maturation. Exports to the US, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Japan and Singapore.
