Other Notes
The Kosovich dynasty has recently celebrated 100 years of wine making (1922-2022). The vines for this wine were planted in the 1960s - making them nearly 60 years old.
Cellaring Potential
Will certainly reward 5-7 years cellaring for those prepared to wait. If drinking now, decant for 2 hours.
Enjoy With
Slow-cooked beef short ribs cooked in a red-wine and balsamic vinegar reduction, served with mash and seasonal vegetables.

At age 15, Ivan's son John took on the role as winemaker and expanded the varieties available. In 1998 Anthony (Arch) became the third-generation senior winemaker working alongside his father. The tasting area is located in a unique below ground cellar which was hand dug in 1922. The winery continues to be a family run, boutique winery which prides itself on quality estate grown wines.
