The Cumulus Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the Gomersal sub region of the Barossa Valley, which is located on the Western Ridge of the region. Iron rich clays are the dominant soil type, acting to restrict yields and berry size and promoting wines with dense fruit and character and a firm structure.
Fermented using indigenous yeasts from the vineyard and left on skins for two weeks before basket pressing and maturation in small French oak casks for 24 months, a process which softens the tannins and develops secondary characters.
The Cloud Series of red wines have been designed for you to enjoy them now, although they can be cellared for 15 to 20 years if not even longer.

The Ciel Hostess Rose is produced from a blend of Montepulciano and Grenache grapes. The Montepulciano grapes are sourced from a vineyard in the Halletts Valley region of the Barossa Valley and are then blended with a small amount of Old Vine Grenache.
