The secret to the excellence of these wines is a simple recipe - take two of Australia's finest and most highly-awarded winemakers; add fully concentrated ripe plump grapes; gently crush the fruit to extract the richly flavored juice; pour into carefully selected oak barrels and leave to mature; check occasionally to ascertain its peak, then bottle.

Such is the recipe followed by Rolf Binder of the Barossa Valley and Kevin Mitchell of the Clare Valley, fine winemakers and advocates of life's adventures.
