2023 Goonawarra Vineyard Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon
A$40.00A blend of 75% Cabernet Franc 25% Cabernet sauvignon. The grapes for this wine were picked in early April. Back at the winery we de-stemmed all the grapes and transferred to a vat to wait for fermentation to commence. During the fermentation we do daily pumpovers to macerate along with rack and return's to encourage oxygen exposure. The grapes remained on skins post ferment for 2 weeks resulting in a 5 week macceration. The grapes were basket pressed and transferred to oak for the elevage. There was no new oak used, a mix of between 2 and 5 year old barrels. The wine stays in barrel for 12 months being topped regularly before being racked to tank with a sulphur dioxide addition. Here it stays for 4 months to settle and clarify in the cold winter months. Prior to bottling there is another sulphur dioxide addition. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
This Cabernet blend represents a more refreshing take on the style. Aromas of red berries, liquorice, earthy elements, along with fresh tobacco. The palate is driven by acidity but balanced with tannin. The fruit flavours are again in the red spectrum and there is a grounding earthiness to the wine that is satisfying.Quantity
2023 Doug's Vineyard Pinot Noir
A$60.00The 2023 Pinot Noir smells of rose petals, raspberries, currants, forest floor and brown spices. The palate is bright and charming, with freshness, depth and fruit flavours which are balanced with fine tannins. There are cherries and oak elements in the mouth along with a bursting red fruit energy. One of the hallmarks of this wine is the length of flavour. This is an incredibly refreshing yet complex wine that will cellar gracefully.Quantity
2022 MOONAMBEL BLANC
A$35.00This 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
2023 Shay's Flat Grenache
A$45.00Shay’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 (350m elevation) 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. Our approach with this wine was essentially adapting our Pinot Noir method to a wine from a warmer climate. Extracting more tannin and allowing the wine to express its unique terroir.
Hand-picked on the 4th of April, then transported back to the winery. We retained 20% of the whole grape bunches for the fermentation with the remainder of the grapes being de-stemmed. Fermentation took 3-5 days before it ‘kicked off’ with naturally occurring yeast and the grapes remained on skins for 3 weeks. For extraction we employ and equal mix of pump overs and plQuantity
2023 Franklinford Vineyard Dolcetto
A$40.00Handpicked on the 9th of April, once back at the winery we de-stemmed all of the grapes. Remaining on skins for 7 weeks in total we do pump overs daily whilst the fermentation is active, the grapes were then basket pressed and the wine was transferred to barrel (seasoned French barriques) for maturation. The wine stays in barrel for 12 months being topped regularly before being racked to tank with a sulphur dioxide addition. Here it stays for 4 months to settle and clarify in the cold winter months. Prior to bottling there is another sulphur dioxide addition. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
The Franklinford Dolcetto is as always very dark in colour; it offers aromas of aniseed, pepper, orange peel, freshly turned earth and cooked blackberries. It is a powerful wine that is also in some sense elegant for its size. Cooked blackberries are at the forefront but there is ample tannin and acidity. This year it feels lighter in some senses although still fully ripe and warming. There is a refreshing simplicity to the wine yet it is also complex.Quantity
ELEVATED WHISPER (WHITE BLEND)
A$30.00A 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
2023 Goonawarra Vineyard Chardonnay
A$65.00We have eagerly anticipated this release. This wine offers aromas of lemons, yellow grapefruit pith, toasted almonds and flynt. The palate is refined and at this stage still quite reserved. The length of the flavour is excellent and well balanced with the acid backbone. It is an elegant Chardonnay that is tightly packed with citrus flavours at the forefront but lots of complexity which is enhanced by the minerality and texture.Quantity
2023 Franklinford Vineyard Pinot Gris
A$40.00Hand-picked on March 18th and transported back to the winery where the fruit was destemmed and soaked on skins for 12 hours. Pressed to tank the following day. 80% of the juice was fermented and aged in seasoned French Barriques and the other 20% was fermented and aged in tank. Remaining in these vessels, maturing ‘on lees’ for 9 months. Following this it was racked to tank with a sulphur dioxide addition for 4 months to settle and clarify in the cold winter months. Prior to bottling there is another sulphur dioxide addition. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
The Pinot Gris gives aromas of stone fruits, wet rock and lifted floral notes. It is a powerful rendition of this variety which is still refreshing but has a textural phenolic element that comes from the grape skin maceration. It is dry and acid driven with a fruit core of nectarines, apples and freshly baked pastries.Quantity
2023 COUP DE FOUDRE BABYLON
A$32.00COUP DE FOUDRE - BABYLON - is named after the famous city in Mesopotamia, meaning the entrance to a special place (God’s gate).
Approximate blend of:
Grenache 85% - Pyrenees
Dolcetto 15% - Macedon Ranges
This wine sits in a refreshing zone, although it weighs in at 14% alcohol. Fruit driven but with lovely savoury tannins to match. It delivers satisfaction with enjoyable texture and flavour.
Not labelled as 2023 as it is only 80% 2023. There is 10% from 2021 and 10% from 2022.
The Babylon was basket pressed and matured in seasoned french barriques on lees. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small amount of Sulphur Dioxide before bottling.Quantity
MACEDON RANGES PINOT NOIR
A$45.00Macedon Ranges 2023 Pinot Noir. Offering a snap shot of the vintage, a selection of barrels that were fruit forward and ready to release.
Very aromatic, offering plums and cherries with forest floor in the mix. This wine has gentle tannins, supported by high acidity and a lovely fruit core which provides a delicious and fresh Pinot Noir.
We kept approximately 40% whole bunch this year. The grapes were pumped over once per day and basket pressed after 3 weeks maceration. Aged in seasoned French oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small amount of Sulphur Dioxide before bottling.Quantity
