How a religious denomination who owned a winery came to promote abstinence from alcohol is a story in its own right and too long to tell here. But the fact that they were also linked to our Angelus Bell was inspiration enough to name our first flagship Cabernet Shiraz blend The Holy Thirst. We selected a parcel of cabernet sauvignon destined for The Angelus and a shiraz ear marked for RSW and matured each separately in French oak barrels for 19 months before blending for style, balance and an eternal life.
Just 468 bottles made.
