Barrel-matured reds from noble varieties are the focus, with Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and a Cabernet Franc Reserve in the range. Tastings are by appointment only, in a cellar at Bosman's Crossing that was once part of a brandy production house. The family-owned winery was started by Dave Lello, and Jane Lello now runs the whole operation from vine to consumer.
