This wine has been tailor made to commemorate the 2020 restoration of the original Bakehouse which was built by the first settlers of Light Pass in 1845.
Predominately made from Shiraz grapes it represents a lighter than usual style of wine made under the Gumpara label. Cherry fruits in combination of a fine tannin structure, with 12 month oak influence in seasoned barrels are the building blocks for this creation.
