The inspiration for the Ludwig Chardonnay comes from two imaginative people. The first is a German friend, and the creative mind behind the ‘Adam’s Leap’ name. While it’s not his legal German moniker, the moment I heard the story of how Ludwig became his official name in Australia is a comedy of errors that made me laugh so much I cried. The second is a visionary composer of beautiful symphonies. The Ludwig is a creative single vineyard Chardonnay that is a symphony of fun and sophistication. Enjoy it with friends who inspire your creativity, and make you laugh so hard you cry.

The Insolent Cavalier

shiraz 

The Insolent Cavalier Shiraz is a one of a kind! It is a classic fruit-forward Hunter Valley Shiraz with a twist. The Insolent Cavalier is a sophisticated, yet approachable single vineyard Shiraz made with uncompromising quality, and a cheeky side that will light up your palate. Enjoy the Insolent Cavalier with your friends, or anyone who exudes a mix of sophistication and a healthy disdain for authority.

The Ma Mére

shiraz /viognier

The Ma Mère Shiraz/Viognier was inspired by my mom, Dr Susan Kossak. She is one of the smartest and most creative people I know. She is a professor, a sculptor, and a friend. The Ma Mère is a wine borne out of those very same qualities of creativity and ingenuity. The few rows of Viognier in the vineyard produced exceptional fruit, as did the Shiraz, allowing for the addition of whole bunches of Viognier to the Shiraz to produce a wonderful Hunter Shiraz with an edge of European style. Enjoy this wine with your mom, or anyone else who inspires you.

Amiche

rose´

Amiche means friends in Italian.  The word comes from the verb ámare, which means ‘to love’, not in the sense of romantic love, but in the sense of loving unselfishly.  The Amiche is a rosé created with the help of good friends who gave of themselves unselfishly to help lovingly craft this free-spirited wine.  It is in the spirit of l’amicizia (friendship) that the Amiche was borne, and it is in that spirit that it should be enjoyed.  Share this rosé unselfishly with your amiche and celebrate l’amicizia.
