The Family Selection range represents the very wines from Eight at the Gate. The fancy wines. This luscious and silky smooth Shiraz is like a chocolatey, satiny pillow of flavour. Full bodied and full of flavour, it's a purple berried delight of cool climate Shiraz. Classy and great.

For Jane Richards and Claire Davies, it seemed destiny to own their vineyards. Growing up near their current property in Wrattonbully, they have always dreamed of starting their estate. So when stars aligned and they could buy the established Lancoona Estate, it all just fitted perfectly, but for one piece, what should they call their new business (rather than Lancoona)? The answer was at home. Jane & Claire are mothers of four kids, so there were always eight children hanging off a fence or gate on the property. Why not cheekily call it Eight at The Gate? There's more than a nice story here, though, as the Eight at The Gate range seems to have an extra level of heart and life, with legendary ex-Wynns winemaker Peter Douglas in the winery no doubt helping deliver some impressive reds, full-flavoured whites and juicy Wrattonbully rosé.
