Airlie Bank Gris on Skins 2020

Winery Notes - "Made from a small block of pinot gris next to the dam, we take 50% of the harvest and apply 100% whole bunch fermentation. This is a 12-day process very similar to how we make pinot noir.

The other 50% is a whole berry ferment, which is hand plunged for 3 days.

The two batches are pressed together to old hogsheads, where they remain for 3 months prior to a clean rack. No finings or stabilization. Minimal … more

Airlie Bank Yarra Valley Franc 2019

'Blackcurrant, ripe raspberry, ash and lots of spice, sweet capsicum. Light bodied, but good intensity of small berried fruits, sappy green and spicy things are punctuation marks here, rather than text, acidity is fresh and slaty, tannin forms a fine dust, and the finish is cool and fresh. Great thing to drink.'

Arfion Fever Amber Wine 2019

Dave's "Fever" is a blend of 5 varieties from a single vineyard fermented on skins then sent to old oak to mature. Mostly Pinot Gris, with Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, Savignin, Riesling & Chardonnay.

Winery Notes - "Wine is the sum of a vast number of natural and cultural elements. Some we can control, some we can't.

These elements don’t work in isolation, they collide and interact to make wine unique and terroir driven. Because these elements continuously change, the wine … more

Arfion Full Moon Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Winery Notes - "We work with Simon Harte at the Full Moon Vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley.

18 year old vines are grown on chocolate coloured volcanic soils on a gentle west facing slope in Gladysdale. This immaculate vineyard is tendered to like a garden.

It’s a marginal subregion for grape growing but with careful vineyard management these vines have produced pristine and powerful fruit.

This is our sixth year working with Simon, but our first year with this … more

Arfion Snowflake Savagnin 2018

Winery Notes - "Snowflake is produced in small amounts every year from an excellent parcel of fruit that we believe can make something really special.

Luckily for us, in 2018, a tiny 6 row block of Savagnin became available from the Rising Vineyard near St Andrew’s in the Yarra Valley.

Originally planted by Neil Roberts around 2000, as a trial block, on the understanding it was Albarino. Turned out it wasn’t.

I decided to split it and make the two … more

Bird on a Wire Chardonnay 2017

The fruit for the Chardonnay is sourced from a vineyard high up in the Yarra Valley. The vines are 36 years old, which aids in the depth and complexity of the wine. The naturally cool nights and sunny days in the Upper Yarra are perfect for Chardonnay as they help maintain natural acidity whilst the flavours develop in the fruit. As a result no acid adjustment is required in the winery and the line and length of acidity in the … more

Coombe Farm Tribute Nellie Melba Blanc de Blancs 2014

Winery Notes - "The Tribute Series represents our finest, single site expressions.

This 2014 Nellie Melba Blanc de Blancs is distinctly Yarra Valley, with delicate hints of citrus, chalk and spice scented flowers. The palate is vibrant, fresh and lifted, with notes of tangy grapefruit and melon and a seamless, persistent bead. There is a fullness in the mouth, with a hint of creamy brioche and pristine lemon acidity."
