Producer Notes - "Once hand harvested with careful sorting in the vineyard, the bunches were partially crushed by foot and very gently pressed, directly to barriques. Natural fermentation occurs in 33% new oak barriques (Francois Freres MOG, medium toast, Dargaud & Jaegle Vosges, medium toast) with 100% malolactic fermentation. Lees ageing in barrel for 12 months, followed by four months in stainless steel on fine lees, before racking (according to the new moon) and bottling, unfined and unfiltered, no stabilisation. … more

Bringing your nose to the glass and your olfactory is treated to caramel and vanilla layered on herbal and floral notes. The mouthfeel starts oily but finishes dry. On the palate you are treated to sweet caramel, vanilla, dusted in floral notes... finishing notes of oak and a lingering spiciness.

"This dry grown vineyard was planted in 1981 on old, red volcanic soils at 150m elevation. There are four separate parcels of Pinot Noir, two north facing blocks of MV6 and another of Abel, as well as a more sheltered south facing block of MV6. The wine smells of ripe dark fruits including blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant as well poached autumnal fruits - quince, medlar and pear. The palate is rich and weighty with rose hip, mace and black pepper. … more

Now here's a Pinot that fits the Bill! The Cathedral is as effusive and charming as the man who made it, and while his more serious wines need time in the cellar, this one is destined to be drunk young and often. Juicy, supple red fruits leap out of the glass, with a whiff of cinnamon spice to finish.

"A blend of fruit from the Matthews vineyard in Berrys Creeks and Guendulain Farm in Yarragon. Matthews was planted to MV6 on red volcanic soil in 1998 and has always been dry grown. It is a cool, damp site and the vines grow dense, lush canopies. The vines at Guendulain were planted in Baw Baw Shire in 2008 at 10,000 vines per hectare, half MV6 and half Pommard clone. The wine smells of blood plum, blackberry and blackcurrant as well … more

"Fruit was sourced from the Mrs Nicks vineyard in Balnarring and Rivendel in Merricks North. Mrs Nicks was planted to MV6 in 1998 on a gently south facing hill of chocolate brown sandy loam. Rivendel, planted in the same year, is a mix of D5V12 and Pommard clones of pinot noir on grey sandy loam and is the same vineyard that our 2007 Mornington Peninsula wine came from. Aromas of raspberry, red currant and pomegranate as well as morello cherry, … more

Régisseur Didier Séguier describes 2019 in general as " ripe yet largely classic in style and their concentrations and acid backbones should permit them to age for a very long time."

'Here too there is enough wood to merit mentioning on the decidedly cool and reserved nose that offers up plenty of floral elements along with those of citrus, iodine and oyster shell. The lavishly rich, muscular and overtly powerful flavors possess the hallmark minerality that carries over to the dense, citrusy and very dry finish. This beauty should age effortlessly. Don't Miss!'

Super deep and complex, rich and saline, with a pure developed perfume. Mapled acorn-rich, lightly glyceric, deeply spiced, strong at the rim, releasing to an athereal boof from a structural base. Fine glazed toffee nut, orange blossom, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, dried chestnut honey, toasted hazelnuts, delicate tangerine caramel, brandied citrus, sandalwood. The acidity itself is incredibly complex, carrying brine and rind, fine old wheat and praline in a gloriously patinated, running mouthfeel. Finish = forever!

Winemaker Notes "Our first Shiraz under Wind River; this wine is fruit forward and bold. Although they hail from the same vineyard, she is a more conventional expression of variety than her cousin Viceroy Syrah. The fruit is picked at peak ripeness and with gentler acid. The finished wine is slurpy and approachable, a delicious example of cool climate Shiraz. This single-vineyard classic is packed with blue fruit and supple, savoury tannin. It is a proud representation of it Wind … more

High-quality wine doesn't come on its own. It starts in our vineyards with yield reduction, hand selection of the fruit and a variety of other biodynamic-friendly measures throughout the year. In the cellar, gentle pressing is followed by traditional vinification methods. The wines are primarily fermented in traditional large barrels. Our Gutswein-level Riesling delivers a remarkable portrait of its origins: the limestone-rich soils of Westhofen. Rigorous manual labour in the vineyard and traditional fermentation in large wooden barrels establish this … more
