The mean gravelly soils and invigorating climes of Mount Barker of the Australian southwest, were identified during the 1960s by the world's leading viticulturalists, as a place uncannily similar to the great terroirs and clime of Bordeaux. The pioneering vines of Forest Hill were the first ever planted here, sired from rootstock of ancient Houghton clones, inaugurally vintaged by the illustrious Jack Mann in 1972. The Cabernet and Riesling of Forest Hill were promptly distinguished by multiple trophy victories and praised by gentleman James Halliday as the most remarkable wines to come out of the Australian west. Forest Hill have remained a source of the most profoundly structured, intensely focused, yet softly spoken range of wines. Powerful yet disciplined Cabernet, generously proportioned Malbec, august Chardonnay and mesmerising Riesling, all representing essential drinking and salient value, for every learned west coast gourmande in the..

"The vines are established on alluvial gravels over rich friable red clay soils at an altitude of 420 metres. The wines are on the elegant side, although they can show plenty of blackcurrant pastille and cedar wood aromas, palate richness, underlying oak and fine, grippy tannins. Sally's Paddock is a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc a palette of aromas and textures woven together without any variety dominating the wine. It is made with a laissez-faire approach and maturation takes place in a combination of new (60-70%) French and American oak puncheons" -Langtons.com.au
