A wine of dark plum in colour
with an intense palate of black cherry and spicy French oak. It is a
beautifully balanced wine with a long palate and silky tannins. It will
develop further in the bottle over the next five to seven years.
Narkoojee,
meaning "place of flowers”, was a dairy farm owned and operated by Edna
and Athelstan Friend, since the early 1940s. Their son Harry planted
the first experimental vines back in 1980 and with his wife Val, moved
to the property from Melbourne in 1995. Narkoojee had very humble
beginnings with the Cellar Door operating out of a small weatherboard
bungalow at the back of Harry and Val Friend’s house. The grapes were
taken to the old butter factory in Glengarry, which served as their
first winery. Today Narkoojee has a state-of-the-art winery that was
officially opened on 10 December 2004.
