Climbing
Climbing wines come from our Orange vineyard, from blocks above 600m. These low yielding vines provide fruit of intense yet elegant flavour. The Climbing name is inspired by the higher elevation vines that give such a unique character. The label imagery was drawn from an 1880's ‘Dive Circus’ poster, with the dashing ‘Henry’ scaling heights inspired by the local extinct volcano peak, Mount Canobolas.

Climbing Pink (Europe)
Gorgeous bright pink in colour - this Rosé wine shows lifted strawberries and raspberries and a delicious touch of cream. Ripe cherry flavours on the palate are balanced by a fine minerality. Tasting Notes: 2011
Climbing Merlot

Climbing Cabernet Sauvignon
Dark, ripe, berry fruits are balanced by cool-climate leafiness. 12 months oak maturation brings dark chocolate notes to the fore whilst fine, firm tannins give the palate great length. Tasting Notes: 2011 2010
Climbing Shiraz
The high-elevation is shown to great effect in our Shiraz. Rich cherry, blackberry and white pepper overlays a supple palate. Subtle use of oak adds fine, soft tannins to this well-structured wine. Tasting Notes: 2011 2010
