Airlie Bank Gris on Skins 2021

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

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

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

Bird on a Wire Syrah 2015

"What a fantastic wine this is! Gently mature and loaded with game meat, charcuterie and dried berry fruits. So much going on. Charming." 95/100 - Mike Bennie, Wine Business Monthly, 8 June 2020

"The handiwork of Caroline Mooney. Whole bunches, whole berries, small percentage of new oak. Confident winemaking. A beautifully composed wine. Everything here seems tight-sewn. Peppers and associated woodsy spices; dark cherry-berry flavours; nutty aspects; a savoury, fine-grained, peppery finish. It's perfumed, taut and persistent at once. It … more

A new style of Gin from the Guys at Four Pillars. We'll let them explain...

The resultant gin is an incredibly rich, deep purple colour, which turns … more

Luke Lambert Chardonnay 2020

Diam. This is sourced from the windy, east-facing slope of the Tibooburra vineyard, a site where the poor volcanic soils (with seams of yellow clay and eroded granite) offer up the low yields and intensely flavoured berries that are sine qua non to Lambert's minimal-intervention style. "The volcanic soils of the Tibooburra Vineyard are most evident here", notes Luke, adding that, "because of the elevation of the Tibooburra vineyard and the aspect, the wines hold their acid structure and elegance … more
