2006 Moonlight Cabarnet Sauvignon

Bullet scars in Borambola’s walls remind us of a visit by the notorious bushranger Captain Moonlight. After his first release from Ballarat gaol, he turned his attentions to accruing enough ill-gotten wealth to flee the country for good. Captured by police in 1879, hanged in 1880, he never realised that dream.
