Vintage 2003 is the first attempt to spread the secret and make it available to the general public. However this vintage was a drought year and the vines were cropped very low and produced approximately one tonne per acre.

Who produces a Shiraz the way “nature” intended it to be… appealing only to the serious traditional Shiraz enthusiast.

It already has a cult of corporate executives who are reluctant to share this secret; they want to keep it all for themselves. They know that this little boutique vineyard of 10 acres can only produce between 400 to 600 dozens per year of this heavenly drop.

They also know that this tiny estate which is situated on a quiet bend of the Wild Duck Creek in the southern end of Victoria’s Heathcote wine region have been blessed with perfect soil and growing conditions for a world-class Shiraz.

As well as the knowledge of the significant soil variation in this region which contributes to a large range of different tastes and qualities, they have crafted Rogues Lane’s Shiraz according to their taste buds and drinking culture.

Furthermore it was discovered that you have to be careful if you drink and drive because this powerful drop of heaven with the intense and rich flavours contains 16% alcohol without any hints or warnings unless you read the label.
