Planted in 1988 by Edgar Riek — one of the founders of Canberra District viticulture — and the then-landowner Dinny Killen, on an east-facing Silurian-limestone slope at the top of the Majura Valley where the Ainslie Volcanics meet limestone along an old fault line. Winemaker Frank van de Loo has been here since 2001, and Tempranillo, planted experimentally in the mid-1990s, became the vineyard's flagship after a 2009 benchmark tasting. Every vine pruned by hand through winter; every harvest picked by hand. The cellar door is where you meet the results — wines that appear on serious restaurant lists around the country. On Ngunnawal Country.
