The wines

The wines are created by careful and gentle handling, from the selection and picking of the fruit through to the bottling and cellaring of the final product. Using age old winemaking methods along with patience and attention to detail we're able to produce wines that we're proud to offer you.

The first Joshua’s Fault Cabernet was laid down in 2001 and was awarded a Bronze Medal at its first outing to the Canberra Region Wine Show.

Our wines have been very well received by the trade, with a focus on fine dining venues. The wine show circuit allows us to compare our wines with other producers, but it's the

acceptance of our product by industry professionals in a very competitive environment which we have found most rewarding.

Continued consumer preference for our wines has meant we've been able to retain our place on many fine dining restaurant wine lists from vintage to vintage.

Our single-vineyard wines are hand-made in small batches with great attention to detail. We use only the very best French oak from Siruge, Seguin Moreau and Francois Frères. Consequently, our production is limited and the wines have sold out every year.

The Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 — Just Released

Celebrating the vineyard’s tenth year we picked this beautifully ripe Cabernet mid April 2005. The vine canes had hardened off nicely and still held a full canopy of foliage. The fruit was crushed into open fermenters for extended skin contact, basket pressed then matured in French hogshead for 24 months. This traditionally hand made wine has lifted blackcurrant and spice aromas. These are carried on the palate where there are hints of dark chocolate and black cherries overlaying fine tannins. It is robust, well balanced and very long . . . secure your allocation while it lasts.

	The Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 This elegant wine was fermented on skins for two weeks, then basket-pressed into French hogsheads for extended maturation. Ripe fruit aromas, rich varietal flavours and gentle oak combine over time to produce a rich, smooth wine overlaid with hints of blackcurrant, plum, cinnamon and cigar box. The wine complements osso bucco, roast lamb and garlic, and hard cheeses. SOLD OUT			The Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Hints of cherry, blackcurrant and cigar box on the nose introduce a nicely balanced wine with rich ripe fruit flavours. Dark chocolate characters add to the opulent mouthfeel of this wine. A natural match with lamb this Cabernet also complements hard cheeses. SOLD OUT
	The Chardonnay 2007 Cool climate grown Chardonnay flavours of ripe grapefruit overlaying peach characters typify this wine. It was whole bunch pressed into new French barriques and barrel fermented. A portion underwent natural fermentation and malo-lactic fermentation. Regular barrel stirring (battonage) was employed to ensure yeast lees contact with the wine for further complexity. A stunning match with pan fried flathead fillets, Tasmanian scallops or pork medallions.			The Rosé 2008 Flavoursome and refreshing, this Cabernet rosé has got summertime written all over it! Beautifully ripe, this wine has the flavours of summer berries and cherry. Served slightly chilled it may be enjoyed with a wide range of food styles such as grilled meat, seafood and especially Thai curries.
