Duke's Vineyard - Halliday's "Vinous Heaven"!

They are a small, passionate, family orientated crew, who all know the place like the back of their hand.

“Duke's Vineyard and winemaker Rob Diletti are a match made in vinous heaven, whether it be Riesling, Shiraz or Cabernet, the special quality stems from purity and (for the reds), silky tannins.”  James Halliday

“Typical Duke's Shiraz, with the elegance of a ballet dancer floating across the stage lifted by unseen strands of tannins.” James Halliday
