Rimfire Ruby Cabernet

This is a wine of significant quality. With excellent structure and tight tannins, this full bodied Ruby Cabernet displays upfront herbaceous capsicum and fresh mint characters against a soft background of black pepper, warm spice and nicely integrated oak. Rich and ripe, it drinks well now but is a definite cellaring proposition for seven or so years.

A modern red wine grape variety, Ruby Cabernet was bred in California in 1949 by combining Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan in an attempt to combine Cabernet characteristics with Carignan productivity and heat tolerance. Although designed to yield claret-like wines from hot regions, Ruby Cabernet is often hard to source as a straight varietal wine outside its native home. At Rimfire, this wine is crafted entirely from Ruby Cabernet fruit from the estate vineyard.

If you enjoyed our Ruby Cabernet try Rimfire Cabernets – a rich blend of Cabernet fruit from the vineyard – or Rimfire Cabernet Sauvignon.

Rimfire Graciano

The Graciano grape originates from the Rioja region of northern Spain and over the last 100 years has almost disappeared because of the high cost of producing wine from such low yielding vines. It is the wine lovers' loss as from this grape wines of stunning quality can be made.

The Graciano at Rimfire has settled in as if it were its natural home, producing wines with deep hues of garnet. The nose exhibits aromas of rich fruit cake, spicy plums, cherry, and blackcurrant. These carry through to the palate and are joined with savoury spices.

If you enjoyed our Graciano try Rimfire Touriga Nacional or Rimfire Cabernet Sauvignon

Rimfire 1893 - Currently Out Of Stock - watch this site for new release details

Crafted from Rimfire's unique white wine grape variety, this wine has captured the imaginations of wine-lovers everywhere. As flavoursome as it is dry, Rimfire 1893 exhibits delicate citrus aromas reflected by subtle lemon, lime and grapefruit characters on the palate. The crisp acidity makes Rimfire 1893 a perfect match to Australian seafood and summer salads. Truly intriguing, 1893 is one of Rimfire's most sought after wines.

1893 is an unidentified white grape that dates back to the region's historic vineyard planted by the first settlers. Soon after Rimfire was established in the mid 1990s, a lone, very old vine was found growing in a nearby paddock - in almost the exact same location the historic vineyard was planted more than a century earlier. Unable to identify the unusual variety, Rimfire forwarded samples to the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI). The results of DNA testing confirmed what Rimfire suspected all along: it was truly a mystery variety with no known DNA match on the vine databank.

If you enjoyed Rimfire 1893 , try our crisp lively Colombard or fresh citrus toned Unoaked Chardonnay
