The wine shows off the beautiful Eden Valley region with pure class, a region which is higher in altitude and cooler in climate than the Barossa Valley. This crop produces alluring elegance and finesse to the wines. This small parcel of Syrah was hand-picked, the fruit was destemmed and not crushed and placed into small open top fermenters leaving 30% whole bunch clusters. The wine is then left to mature in 40% New French oak puncheons and 60% seasoned French oak puncheons.

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.
