Produced on the famed terra rossa soils, arguably Australia’s greatest, in the warm Wrattonbully region, it gets its name from the remains of a 37-million-year-old whale that were found here. Made from old, low-yielding vines, the quantity of fruit produced here is tiny, but the quality is exceptional. Once picked the grapes were destemmed – no extra tannins were required – gently crushed and cold soaked for two days before being fermented separately. During the 11-day fermentation, the skins were hand-plunged to ensure maximum extraction. Once blended the wine was placed into 225-litre French oak casks, half of which were new, for 17 months.

The property was purchased in 1938 by the Rioux family, breeders of dairy cows, they also cultivated wheat and potatoes until 1972.

Since 1979 Henry has dedicated his life to the property and has passed on his passion for the vine and the land itself to his two daughters. Today Hélène, Henry Musso’s youngest daughter runs things, she relies heavily on the knowledge she attained from her father as well as guidance from wine consultant, Cedric Moreau. It so happens that Mr. Moreau is the president of the Bordeaux wine quality control organisation, Qualibordeaux. Therefore, we can be sure that everything is done by the book and beyond. Sharing the Musso family’s love of all things equine, Cedric also owns Chateau du Hâ and favours micro-oxygenation to make wines which are aged in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. This method results in wines that one would believe were barrel-aged.
