Sons & Brothers is a single vineyard, bottle-aged, hand-made, dry red, Cabernet Sauvignon dominant wine. It is the only wine we produce. It is grown, made, bottled, bottle aged, packaged and despatched by Chris and Kathryn Bourke at Millthorpe, in the Orange Region of central NSW.
Our highly praised 2007 vintage, our first release with Savagnin in the blend, has now sold out. The 2005 vintage, which was slower to develop than the 2007, has replaced it as our current release. The 2005 is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Shiraz, the absence of Old Jura Savagnin resulted in it requiring somewhat longer bottle ageing prior to release. Although drinking well now it will continue to gain complexity over the next 10 years. The 2005 is fresh and vibrant, the colour is very strong, the aroma a subtle mix of violets, berries and vanilla, the flavour profile a cornucopia of cherries, plums, berry fruits, pepper and spice, with lovely aged notes of cedar, cigar box and caramel. The wine is medium bodied, has good acidity, great structure and a savoury food-friendly finish. It has not been fined nor filtered. For greatest enjoyment decant each bottle one hour before serving and then drink it with a meal.
Our recommended retail price is $25.00 per bottle. We are happy to post single bottles to you at $30.00 each (which includes postage and packaging). However if you choose to purchase our six bottle pack, or multiples thereof, we will reduce the price to $22.50 per bottle ($135.00 per six pack), and send it to you anywhere on mainland Australia freight free.
We do not open our cellar door to the public but for the convenience of both locals and visitors to Orange our wine is available seven days a week at the easy to find IGA supermarket in Peisley Street Orange. Visitors to Millthorpe will find us at the Old Mill Cafe and Restaurant, 12 Pym Street Millthorpe, and Sydney customers can find us at the Oak Barrel Wine Store 152 Elizabeth Street Sydney.
