Deep crimson. Raspberry, blackberry mocha aromas with marzipan, hint bush garrigue notes. Richly flavoured wine, the plentiful red and dark berry fruits, perfectly ripe, gravelly tannins and underlying chinotto notes. Very expressive and beautifully balanced wine.
The bouquet is immensely seductive and inviting with blackberry, bouquet garni, cedar, cured meat, and rich floral notes. The palate is powerful with finesse, exhibiting remarkable weight and depth. The mouthfeel flows seamlessly, complemented by finely integrated tannins. This wine beautifully combines exceptional fruit purity with enticing complexity, leaving a long and gratifying finish.
Very deep, concentrated, dense purple-red colour; a massively rich cocoa/chocolate/mocha bouquet together with plum conserve and blackberry jam flavours. The palate is densely packed with hedonistic, profound and concentrated flavour that persists long through the finish and follow-through. Sweet jammy core. This is long-term and will richly reward cellaring.
Deep, resonant and gloriously pure, with elegant blackberry and dark plum fruits. Hints of brown spice, sage, cedar, dark chocolate, violets. licorice, crushed herbs and crushed stone. The fruit weight is bang on the money, the fine-grained tannins are toothsome and nicely integrated, and the finish is long and rich. The cellaring potential is very promising here.
The captivating bouquet shows dark fruit intensity, floral, toasted spice, game and fine oak aromas, leading to an impressively concentrated palate offering multi-layered mouthfeel, wonderfully structured by silky texture and layers of supple tannins. Energetic and luxurious with refinement and structure, finishing seamless and persistent.
2021 was a fine year, and that fact shines through in this wine. Detailed with just the right amount of structural sinew pure sage, amaro and spice-flecked red and dark berry fruits, showing space, vitality and poise across its length. A really impressive release.
Deep crimson. Lifted blackberry boysenberry aromas with praline notes. Deep-set blackberry pastille, blackcurrant, boysenberry fruits, chocolaty tannins, some dark chocolate notes and fresh linear acidity. Deliciously balanced wine with lovely volume and torque.
A striking harmony of dried thyme, oregano and mace with sublime aromatic undertones of red fruit and liquorice. Rich and powerful with plenty of fleshy sweet fruit tumbling through to the long spicy finish. A great future ahead.
... give this wine a sniff and you’ll find perfumed blackcurrant fruits impeccably defined, their breadth sweetened with a little oak on the palate, it is intense, deep and salty-savoury but clearly a tenor in range, surging through the palate on a surf of pristine fruits. The natural balance is impressive, as are the ultra-soft tannins which seem to melt into the fruits, combining the wine’s saline crushed-stone richness to convey some of the profundity of terroir possible here.
Lots of old-vine character with bark, dark mushroom and moss to the blackberry and plum aromas and flavors. Some black truffles, too. Full-bodied, but not overpowering, with creamy tannins and lots of intensity at the finish. Always in reserve at the end. So drinkable, but it will age fabulously.

Vineyards:
Hand harvested, destemmed and crushed into small 1.5 tonne open-top fermenters. Selected fermenters had up to 15% whole-bunch clusters added to the destemmed berries. A pre-fermentation cold soak ensured a slow initiation to fermentation, where temperatures were allowed to peak at 27oC before being cooled to 20oC for the remainder of the fermentation. Hand plunged daily allowed for a gentle extraction and helped to prolong the fermentation. After an extended period on skins the ferments were pressed to 60% new French oak hogsheads. Matured and not racked throughout the 18-month oak-maturation period provided for palate weight and texture. Prior to bottling, the wine was naturally clarified and bottled without filtration.
To qualify for the Remus blend the vineyards need to over 50 years of age and managed sustainably.
A story that has intrigued us for years is the fable of the legendary founders of Ancient Rome, Romulus and Remus. These twins were abandoned at birth and reared by a she-wolf. Romulus murdered his twin in a fit of rage over the naming of Rome, the city which both had built. Legend presents Romulus as the stronger, more powerful of the brothers, while Remus was more refined, focussed and elegant. We believe the twins’ characterise the distinctive and unique flavours and attributes of Shiraz from the twin valleys – the Barossa Valley and Eden Valley.
