Airlie Bank Gris on Skins 2018

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 2018

'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.'

Aller Trop Loin Bendigo Malbec 2018

Superb example of this underutilised variety. Often used for it's blending capacity, here it delivers all the deep dark colour & perfumed notes it's known for all on it's own.

The brand itself was an unwitting byproduct of a Kosher wine project made by Mark Sztar, when a winemaker accidentally touched a tank of Kosher Chardonnay, and it was deemed as winemaking 'assistance' and therefore made the wine un-Kosher. It didn't make the wines any less tasty though! Since then … more

Bird on a Wire Chardonnay 2016

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

Bress Silver Chook Chardonnay 2018

Our 2018 Silver Chook Chardonnay showcases the way the Yarra Valley expresses this varietal -intense, yet elegant! We lavished this full-flavoured fruit in one to three year old French oak hogsheads for nine months, producing striking generosity in the resultant wine. While most enjoyable presently, this Chardonnay will reward cellaring for up to three years.

Coldstream Hills Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2013

Coldstream Hills has been making sparkling wine, albeit in small quantities, since 1995. The first release of the wine was a Blanc de Noir, but in more recent times, it has been a more traditional blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The south facing slopes of the Deer Farm Vineyard at Gladysdale provide an ideal source for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. The fruit was hand picked and gently pressed prior to fermentation. Following secondary fermentation, the wine spent three … more

Coombe Farm Pinot Noir 2018

Winery Notes - "This 2018 Pinot Noir is perfumed, bright and lifted, with a complex compote of red fruits and florals on the nose. The palate gives pleasant hints of confected strawberry and cherry fruits, with savoury, earthy tones and crunchy tannins. The finish is long, with layers of complexity that linger in the mouth.."

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."
