As we continue to push the boundaries of excellence, we invite you to discover this remarkable wine for yourself.
Read what Toni Patterson MW had to say about it:
"What a beautiful expression of Sweetwater vineyard fruit, with such graceful flow for a powerful wine. The mulberry and blackberry fruit is delightfully supple, with intensity building beautifully as the palate progresses. There's a perfect synergy between the vineyard's character and the winemaking approach. Simply magnificent. – Toni Paterson, 96 points, Halliday Wine Companion.
Winemaker Andrew Duff says: This wine was a pleasure to finish. Alex Beckett, the previous Briar Ridge winemaker, did all the hard work for me to slide
in along and finish. We were very proud to see this wine win Best One-Year-Old Shiraz at The Hunter Valley Boutique Wine Show in 2024.
H. How does the vineyard influence the wine?
AD. It’s the first time I have had the pleasure of playing with fruit from the Sweetwater vineyard. The blue-fruit spectrum the wine presents is polar to the red-fruit spectrum our Tallavera Grove vineyard displays. The name “The Gatherer” is a tip of the hat to this – gathering fruit from vineyards not family owned.
Best enjoyed: Best decanted prior to serving and enjoyed from the best glass you can find in your collection. Confit duck on puy lentils would be an awesome match."
