Discover the elegance and power of Lake Breeze Arthur's Reserve from Langhorne Creek, South Australia. Made by the acclaimed Greg Follett and produced exclusively from the oldest and most select vines on the Follett family's historic estate, this red blend pays tribute to a rich winemaking heritage established in the 1880s. The grapes are hand-picked from 40 to 50-year-old vines, thriving in the fertile flood plains of the renowned Langhorne Creek region. Benefiting from cooling breezes off Lake Alexandrina, these vineyards produce fruit of exceptional character and concentration. Only the finest fruit is chosen, vinified in small open fermenters, and matured for 20 months in premium French oak, with the finished wine left unfined and unfiltered for maximum depth and complexity. Sustainably produced and suitable for both vegetarians and vegans, this wine stands as a testament to Lake Breeze's award-winning reputation among Australian boutique wineries.
