"Golden straw color. Attractive aromas of peach cobbler, lemon curd and cream with a fruity-yet-dry medium-to-full body with a honeyed apple, pineapple custard, and heb acentuated and balanced acidity. A delicious and juicy white wine for sipping and table."

The Cabernet Franc hails from one of the best vintages in many years. It is certainly not shy. It’s varietal character, fruit opulence and deep, red hues will please. A true classic and a keeper, the wine will mature gracefully for up to a decade. It’s a shame we bottled so little.

The Brecon Estate Petite Sirah possesses deep, dark, and mysterious hues. A monster fruit hit with balanced tannins and subtle framework of both fine French and complex American oaks. Platinum awarded, it is a great winter warmer - a true fireside wine.

Brecon has one of the oldest major plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon in the Adelaida Subdistrict. The vines naturally crop at around 2 tons per acre and get truly ripe in a drought year such as this. Explore the complex elegant wines that respond well to such restrained use of oak, that these older clones of Cabernet produce.

A powerful, ripe, fruit forward Syrah with ever-so-smooth tannins and a subtle framework of spice. A new-world style wine, which has (rightfully) made Paso Robles Westside Syrah famous. Brecon’s Australian-style twist on the theme was to mature the clone 99 in fine, American barrels, aged in the world-famous Barossa Valley cooperage.

The Zinfindel comes from the core vineyard which defined our predecessor’s cult Zin status. The Old Casteel vineyard is a mere stone’s throw by trebuchet from Brecon Estate. Located at 1500', the vineyard grows struggling vines with tiny berries. Our wine has everything you should expect from a great Zin.
