Cotta reflects our shift toward lighter, vineyard-first winemaking. Thirty years ago oak was essential; today, with the quality of fruit we’re growing and the way we farm, it plays a far smaller role. Using less oak lets the sites speak more clearly.

Cotta fits the way people are drinking now—wines lighter in structure but not in flavour. It’s a restaurant-focused range built around purity, regionality and confidence in our fruit, and it marks the direction we’re taking across our winemaking.

This Syrah is farmed from blocks 4 and 7 of the Riversdale Vineyard in Frankland River, where gravelly soils and low yields shape fruit of precision and depth.

The wine shows dark berry and black spice, lifted by red florals and framed by fine tannin and a savoury, earthy line.
