Inspired by the great reds of Hunter legend Maurice O’Shea in the 1940s and ’50s, Tradition is a ‘cellar blend’ of estate Pinot and grower Syrah. This release is a blend of 50% Pinot from Estate vines in Macedon, and 50% Syrah from Heathcote and Harcourt.  It was raised in a mix of mostly neutral large and small oak and was bottled in December 2024. Made with 80% whole bunches, it’s a bright, perfumed, juicy wine packed with brambly fruit and all sorts of spice. Where many producers of this blend make simple, lighter reds, this wine sits at the more serious end of the spectrum with good structure and loads of spice to go with the bright, juicy fruit. Think of it as Victoria’s answer to a good Morgon, and you’ll be in the ballpark! Less than 3,000 bottles were made this year.

“Fine, sleek and slick red, more pinot than syrah, if you get my drift, or read on and find out. Red cherry, white mushroom, tarragon and lemon verbena, white pepper, crunch of green capsicum, a touch of resinous pipe tobacco shot through. It’s a fine, light weight, zesty red wine with some slightly jangly characters between fruit, spice and mineral elements.” 93pts | Mike Bennie | WineFront
