 Background Story
 ‘Quarry Road’ - All major buildings were made by 
hand, from stone quarried on site.
 Vintage.
 The combination of a dry 2018 winter and a 
cold spring led to the vines setting a lower 
than average crop. Prolonged dry conditions 
and events of extreme heat during January 
and February reduced yields further. 
Picking commenced on the 26th of February 
and progressed at a frantic pace. With 
daytime maximum temperatures reaching 
above 35C for eight consecutive days, most 
varieties reach the desired sugar levels quite
 quickly. 
The last fruit came through the winery doors 
on the 19th of March.
 Winemaking
 This blended wine is made up of 75% Cabernet 
Sauvignon from our Rosehill block, 20% 
Malbec from the original Sevenhill property 
and 5% Cabernet Franc also from the original 
Sevenhill property. Each were fermented
 separately before blending in October 2020. 
The wine received only 6 months in older 
French oak hogsheads.
