Wine Description
Barossa locals have long been disciples of the legendary Cabernet-based wines from this area. We believe this variety has a bright future in the Eden Valley, particularly where soils are dense and rich in minerals like those in our Ambervale vineyard. The second dry growing season in a row leading up to the 2020 vintage resulted in a small harvest of concentrated fruit.

Winemaker's Bio
Craig is a winemaker with a very rare set of qualities that makes him one of only handful of Barossa winemakers able to realise the true potential of the Barossa’s best vineyards. Prior to starting the Tarrawatta project and establishing his family winery ‘Izway Wines’ Craig was the chief winemaker at Torbreck Vintners (2002 to 2017). It was during this time that he first met Nick Radford, buying grapes from his family vineyard and as neighbours in Seppeltsfied (western Barossa Valley).
Craig has been working with our Ambervale vineyard since 2008, negotiating its purchase for the Pan family when the opportunity arose in 2017. Craig and Nick now work closely and dedicatedly to produce the best wines possible from our Tarrawatta vineyards.
