Wine
Padthaway produces wonderfully balanced wines with fruit flavour ripeness and fine structure. We have selected only the best parcels of grapes to produce The Farmer’s Leap Shiraz and the very limited “The Brave” Shiraz.
The Farmer’s Leap Shiraz exudes our passion to create wines of fruit intensity and finesse. “The Brave” takes this philosophy to a new level with added complexity and structure – a wine that while currently drinking superbly, will handsomely reward those who can wait a little longer before decanting and enjoying.
