Successful block raiding has resulted in a Langhorne Creek Shiraz which is a generous wine layered with dark fruits, hints of chocolate and soft velvety tannins.

OUR FLAGSHIP WINE
295
With only 1,063 bottles produced, the same number of points this Wallaby trio scored in their 295 tests, this limited release 2018 McLaren Vale Shiraz won’t last long.
"A well-structured full-bodied wine with lush berry, chocolate and meaty aromas combine with a long finish." Ben Riggs - Winemaker
Our Story
Three of Australia’s most celebrated Wallabies Adam Ashley-Cooper, Matt Giteau and Drew Mitchell proudly represented the pinnacle of Australian team sport.
They played 295 games collectively in the Wallaby backline and became very close mates through the process.
All three had the opportunity later in their careers to play club rugby in France where they not only excelled professionally, but took the time to experience the ‘gourmand’ culture and ‘joie de vivre’ of the French lifestyle.
It was in France where they cemented their love of wine.
The Backline "Je Fais" Cabernet blend...I do like it a lot! Impressive label too. Congrats boys and all the best with the new venture!
