Terroir: Deep Hutton soils from decomposed granite dominate the sites chosen for these vines
Vineyard type: Bush Vine, no irrigation, Single Vineyards
The Onyx semi-precious stone, resembling the dark granite soils of Darling' premier vineyards, was chosen as the name for our flagship range. Used as a decorative stone in jewellery, it shines as the jewels in the crown of Darling Cellars' production.
Onyx comes from specific vineyards which are chosen for their uniqueness in prominent terroir flavours. These vineyards are planted in the best terroir for the specific varietal. Vineyards are carefully monitored by the winemaker who ultimately decides when the grapes will be harvested. These grapes are handled separately in the cellar to preserve their natural quality and uniqueness.
Onyx is a dedicated concept from site selection, through to the final drop in the glass at the end of a bottle
