Winemaker Notes
The Brothers in Arms Shiraz is 100% Shiraz from the Metala Vineyard in Langhorne Creek. The fruit was harvested from 10 different blocks of vines that have an average age of 25 years. The winemaker, David Freschi employs a minimalist winemaking approach and uses a combination of French and American Oak, half of which is new wood. The wine is aged for 16 months in barriques and aged in bottle for one year before release.

After many years of watching their fruit leave the vineyard on the back of a truck, largely to disappear into a large winery's mulit-regional blend, Guy and Tom felt the time was right to take the next step and leave a lasting legacy for the next generation. Brothers In Arms was born. Their first release, a 1998 Shiraz, certainly vindicated their decision, being an outstanding wine and selling out in the blink of an eye.
There is certainly an exciting future ahead for Brothers In Arms, with so many blocks of outstanding fruit to select from. After many years of planning, their winery on the family property has become a reality.
