T'Gallant is the sailor's abbreviation of topgallant, the top sail of squarerigger sailing ships. It connotes the peak, the best, the epitome. T'Gallant's winemaking philosophy is the same: the very best in winemaking techniques, with European winemaking philosophies applied. The results can be seen in the glass. The Cape Schanck Rosé is a truly seductive wine - the result of a near-perfect vintage. It is a beautiful, blushing creation from Heathcote, Victoria, with all components contributing to the beguiling red fruit aromas, savoury tannins and firm yet elegant structure of this wine. Pair with antipasti platters, cured meats and oily fish, including salmon and trout.

Australia’s second smallest state is home to more regions and wineries than any other. A mix of cool and warm regions means variety is the spice of life in Victoria – from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula, to rich Shiraz from Heathcote and the Grampians and world famous fortified wines from Rutherglen, it’s a paradise for wine lovers.
Adam Carnaby - Winemaker
As a Hospitality Manager at Melbourne’s Hilton Hotel, Adam’s affinity for the wine industry became so apparent that he enrolled in a Bachelor of Wine Science degree at Charles Sturt University, graduating in 2003. In 2001 he was appointed Assistant Winemaker at Yering Station in the Yarra Valley where he remained for five years, gaining vintage experience in Burgundy in-between. Then in 2007 he moved to Margaret River to be a Winemaker at Xanadu Wines for a further five years. These days Adam proudly dons two winemaking hats, creating outstanding cool climate wines from across Victoria: in 2011 he commenced as Seppelt Winemaker and in 2016 added the responsibilities of being Winemaker for T’Gallant. He relishes the challenge of being in charge of two great Australian wine producers – Seppelt with its 165 year history and focus on cool climate sparkling, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Riesling from the Grampians, Heathcote and Henty regions; and the more eccentric T’Gallant, pioneers of Pinot Grigio and Gris in Australia based in the Mornington Peninsula.
