Since 1995, when Mr. and Mrs. Tokar stumbled across the location that would become the estate, their small boutique winery has been a pioneer of the Yarra Valley Golden Mile of high-quality, family-owned producers. The small boutique estate practices sustainable farming on a beautiful vineyard which was originally intended to be little more than a hobby! Now, with the second generation working alongside them, the Tokar's attention on detail both in the vineyards and in the cellar is showing results, with numerous international accolades and awards.

Dark, brooding and savoury, as one might expect from this part of the Yarra Valley, with flecks of bright cherry and roses. There's a creaminess to the palate, along with fresh strawberries, raspberry fruit and smoky black tea.

An excellent accompaniment to a roast duck dish, complementing the natural fattiness of the duck. Also great with hard cheeses, such as Manchego and Comte.

Made from the fruit of the two vineyard blocks planted in 1996 and 1998; one west-facing, the other oriented towards the east. From one comes structure and power and from the other, prettiness and aromatic complexity. 2017 was an excellent vintage for the Yarra Valley, especially for Pinot noir.
