Located in the upper Yarra Valley on the boundary of Woori Yallock and Hoddles Creek, Lone Star vineyards was established in 1997. Grape production is sold to a number of renowned Yarra Valley winemakers with the 2017 vintage being the first commercial release under their own label. Hoddles Creek’s Franco D’Anna is in charge of winemaking.

Matured for 9 months in used French oak barriques with 15% whole bunch included. Translucent bright cherry red colour with a light crimson hue. Fragrant violet laced scents of ripe cherries and strawberries drift from the glass followed by anise and infusions of fresh herbs. Light, incredibly moreish and possessing a superb power wave, delicious juicy cherry and strawberry flavours flow into subtle elements of anise and spice. Supple mouthfeel with silky tannins and a long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 2-3 years.
Alc. 12.5%
