About the wine
Ashs second shiraz from the same vineyard - same year!
Ashley handcrafted two different shiraz wines, separately, from the same single organic vineyard in the Upper Hunter to showcase just how a small change in harvesting can make a huge difference.
Shiraz Deuxième Recolte is the second of two harvests and therefore has greater ripeness, a higher alcohol content and fuller fruit flavour. Beautiful fruit aromas of cherry and plum are balanced with subtle spice, rounded tannins and peppery characters. Both the Deuxime and Premiere were handpicked, crushed, cold soaked and matured for 10 months in oak before bottling.
Why not get one each of the Deuxime and Premiere shiraz to compare the effect that the time of harvest can make to a grape and a wine - and discover your favourite!

Meet the winemaker - Ashley Horner
- Born and bred in the Upper Hunter Valley, Ash worked in local vineyards while helping to establish his Family Vineyard.
- He's one of the most passionate people we've ever met! When asked what he loved most about his job, his answer was "Everything! I love the action during vintage and the progression of grapes becoming a bottle to enjoy. I love the diversity and the abstract thinking you can put into creating a wine product. I also love the diversity of the people that work in the industry and how winemaking makes me feel complete in my life".
- What's the difference between Ash and the rest? His grapes are from organic vineyards and are made using fully certified organic practices!
