Some of Loïque's limited edition prints are also available. "My art practice is an exploration of linocuts and the environment that surrounds me. I have developed a way of weaving myself into the landscape through the processes of carving lino and walking regularly in the landscape. The movement of walking and passing through these spaces has influenced the way I carve the lino".
2022 Doug's Vineyard Pinot Noir
The 2022 Pinot Noir smells of rose petals, cherries, raspberries, forest floor and brown spices. Medium bodied, the palate is similar to the aromas with freshness and fruit flavours initially which is then balanced with fine tannins. One of the hallmarks of this wine is the length of flavour, this is a great representation of what the region can offer.Quantity
2022 MOONAMBEL BLANC
This wine offers aromas of floral and citrus fruits notes with nougat, lemongrass and ginger in the mix. The palate is driven with high acid along with a waxy mouth coating texture that is very refreshing but with great length of flavour.Quantity
2022 SHAY'S FLAT VINEYARD GRENACHE
Displays aromas of raspberry and plums with a floral lift and a fresh herbal character - lavender, thyme, oregano and alpine energy. There is also a spice element, brown cooking spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves.
Medium bodied the flavours are in the red fruit spectrum with a deep juicy character. There are persistent fine tannins which wrap up the spice, herbal and fruit flavours. This will be a pleasure to watch as it evolves in bottle.
Shay’s Flat vineyard sits in the Landsborough Valley in the western part of the Pyrenees wine region. The vineyard is on an eastern facing ridge and lies in an amphitheatre with a magnificent vista down the valley. The sub region of the Landsborough Valley is a quintessential Australian setting. With lots of bush/scrub mixed in with the wheat fields, sheep and vineyards. The soil is a mix of red clay with siltstone, quartz and schist mixed throughout.
Certified organic and managed by Corey Hope, Shay’s Flat is one of those vineyards that has a special positive vitality which we feel very fortunate to be working with.Quantity
2022 FRANKLINFORD VINEYARD DOLCETTO
The Franklinford Dolcetto offers aromas of cooked berries and plums along with liquorice, aniseed and pepper. It is a full bodied, powerful wine that is fruit driven with a floral lift, along with spice, game meat and alpine herb characters. The acidity adds to the intensity along with ample tannins, leaving a bold impression.
10 acres were planted incrementally, beginning in 2000 by the former owner who was inspired by the Swiss-Italian immigrants of the region. The vineyard was then purchased by Julie and Peter Kent in 2018 and they created their label Mafic. They have a strong appreciation for the area and are refining the way the property is farmed. The vineyard sits near the foothills of Lalgambrook (Mt Franklin) on rich dark volcanic soil.
Handpicked on the 10th of April. Back at the winery we de-stemmed all of the grapes and they were fermented on skins for 3 weeks. The grapes were then basket pressed and the wine was transferred to barrel (seasoned French barriques) for maturation until January 2022. Following this the wine was then racked off lees out of barrel to a stainless steel tank and left for further maturation until bottling in August 2022.Quantity
ELEVATED WHISPER (WHITE BLEND)
A blend of:
40% 2021 Riesling, Macedon Ranges
40% 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, Pyrenees
20% 2022 Chardonnay, Pyrenees
A regional blend of 2 different vintages, which is aimed at being delicious and refreshing. The Riesling was fermented on skins and the Sauvignon and Chardonnay were whole punch pressed. All 3 varieties were aged in a mix of seasoned oak and stainless steel. Remaining “on lees” throughout the elevage period, building texture and complexity. Racked “off lees” and blended in January and bottled in March 2023. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no other additives other than a small amount of Sulphur Dioxide.
Light straw in colour, filled with aromas of lemon rind, orange blossom and shortbread combined with dried herbs, such as chamomile. On the palate the citrus flavours are reinforced and we find a focused and linear wine with a tonic like feeling, which encourages you to take another sip. The Elevated Whisper is a vibrant wine with a textural component which adds to its appeal.Quantity
2021 RAY-MONDE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
Crimson in colour, bursting with aromas of cherries, and dark fruited berries, desiccated flowers, along with spice and earthy notes of autumnal leaves and forest floor.
These flavours follow through to the palate, with dark fruited berries and savoury earthy elements that give a minerality character with fine and persistent tannins. The acidity carries the flavours all the way back and will benefit the longer term aging capacity.
Ray-Monde vineyard is located on the northern edge of the Sunbury wine region, just next to the southern edge of the Macedon Ranges wine region. A dynamic and sustainable 230ha farm with regenerative farming practices at its core. The vineyard was planted in 1988 by John Lakey and his family and is 10ac in size. There is a North Eastern aspect and the soil profile is made up of a shallow amount of Basalt clay on top followed by bluestone rock. No synthetic herbicides or fungicides are used on the farm and John has a thorough and deep knowledge of the area and the species that inhabit it.Quantity
2022 FRANKLINFORD VINEYARD PINOT GRIS
The small community of Franklinford sits in the North Western corner of the Macedon Ranges. The vineyard sits near the foothills of Lalgambrook (Mt Franklin) on rich dark volcanic basalt. The vineyard is 10 acres in size with our Dolcetto also grown here.
The vineyard was then purchased by Julie and Peter Kent in 2018. They fell in love with the area and are refining the way the property is farmed. We have stopped using systemic herbicides and fungicides which is a huge step in the right direction.
The Franklinford Gris is powerful and fresh. Offering a flavour spectrum of pears, stone fruit and spice. It's fully ripe but with plenty of acidity to balance.
Hand-picked on March 18th and transported back to the winery where the fruit was destemmed and soaked on skins for 48 hours. Pressed to tank the following day. 80% of the juice was fermented and aged in French Barriques and the other 20% was fermented and aged in tank. Remaining in these vessels, maturing ‘on lees’ for 9 months. Racked off lees and blended in January, allowed to settle and bottled in February. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, with no other additives other than a small amount of Sulphur Dioxide before bottling.Quantity
