Licorice - Arab Colt

The Inspiration

The “Prancing Horse” was a natural source of inspiration for the name chosen for our venture into the wine industry highlighting our strong connection and admiration for the animal and its long association with biodynamic viticulture.  The Prancing Horse also embraces the qualities we seek to capture in Prancing Horse wines – elegance, complexity, excitement, power ... A work of art !

The Horse

In applying organic and bio dynamic practices we seek to maximise the flavour potential and fruit balance in our vineyards. Eventually our horses – Licorice, Molly and Ricky will play a more significant role in the vineyard cultivation and management.  For now however they are important contributors to our composting approach to nurture the soil and recreate the living ecosystem essential to providing quality wines.

The Sculpture

Located within the vineyard is the “Wild One” by the extraordinary artist Deborah Halpern.  In some ways it is our “Angel” keeping watch over the vines.  Its image is to be found on the label of every bottle of Prancing Horse Estate wine.
