In pursuit of balance and texture
‘’Handcrafted, complex wines of distinction and character. Striving for unmasked expressions of grape variety and its place while in pursuit of balance and texture. Always driven by passion and instinct, never forsaking quality.’’
From organically grown grapes, nurtured entirely by us.
This is the first vintage of the resurrected vineyard in Springton, originally planted in 1989 in the heart of the Eden Valley wine region.
After plenty of dedication, tender loving care and quite a bit of sweat, in 2022, we were rewarded with an exceptional fruit.
Only 473 bottles were produced.
PHOENIX
REBULA
FIRST IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Rebula aka Ribolla Gialla
A homage to the homeland and the producers I still look up to. To the best of our knowledge, the first Rebula vineyard in South Australia and the inaugural 2023 vintage have shown that this variety feels right at home in the Adelaide Hills.

What critics are sayingIn their words, not ours
“White (not yellow) peach tones cavort, and the vibrancy and energy here make it a Barossa Valley anomaly! Makes this a wine worthy of a student of Chave!”
“I've had Hermitage Blancs that were less impressive. Persistent finish suggesting very accomplished winemaking. I'd serve this with food interesting enough to deserve it.”
“This wine has personality and character by the spadeful. It’s like walking on a pebbled driveway, or the wine equivalent thereof — which is a rare character and a highly prized one.”
“Creamy, wide, textural wine layered with custard powder and pastry, warmed gouda and white pineapple.”
“The glory of the Eden Valley is on full display here; This is a wine from a top producer.”
“This is the sort of wine Australian wine disbelievers should taste!”
“This is not necessarily a heavier wine. It is just more indulgent and a few tones spicier. Stunning, beautifully fresh, crisp, and clean, Iggy’s winemaking hallmarks are here.”
“Concentrated and firm, with a splay of gritty tannin through the middle palate and finish. This is a monumentally tannic wine; but the texture takes its cue from the vineyard, it seems, and not the élevage, and for this, I like it very much.”
“This is a superb red wine from Eden Valley; Both youthful and intense.”
“Obviously made with great care. Velvety texture and the alcohol is extremely well hidden.”
“While this is a benchmark, elite, Eden Valley Syrah, there is Pinot-like silkiness and Pomerol-like exoticism here.”
“The wine is evocative of the Eden and shaped by earthy tannins that feel pulverized into the fruit. This is a gorgeous wine.”
“Impressive overall balance and enough complexity to keep you satisfied and interested. It’s a full-bodied red wine, and velvety one at that.”
“Light years from many people's ideas of a stereotypical Barossa Shiraz. Great balance between the throbbing fruit and the refreshing finish.”
“It is superb, teasing, combative, energetic and resonant. Every element in the glass is postcode specific, and this makes it reassuringly unique, too!”
“This is a concentrated wine with lashings of exotic spices and an attractively mouth-coating texture that lingers beyond the flavors.”
