My family referred to our original vineyard estate as being the Promised Land due to the quality and promise of its rich fertile soils. The Promised Land ranges of wines, sourced from across Australia’s finest wine regions, are made in a style that is immediately approachable but with a hallmark of quality that is unmistakable. Whether you’re relaxing at home or sharing a meal with friends these are the perfect wines for every occasion.

Tasting note

A balanced medium bodied wine with a lively palate of juicy red berries, plum, cassis, chocolate and spice. The wine has a soft, supple feel with silky smooth tannins from oak maturation. This is the quintessential Australian blend. The oh-so enjoyable combination of plum fruits and spicy pepper make it the perfect wine to take to a BBQ or your favourite pizza parlour.

Awards and Accolades

Mathew Jukes Best 100 Australian Wines 2011

This is a wonderful work horse red from the massive overachievers at Wakefield (Taylor’s). With sweet damson Shiraz and firm, adroit Cabernet playing off each other in this blend it is a little like two martial artists, with differing weapons, putting on a stunning display of their skills. Affordable, drinking now and impressive, particularly to fans of say Rioja or claret, this is a wine which should play Pied Piper to the uninitiated and welcome thousands of fans to honestly made, deeply satisfying Aussie wine.
