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

Arfion Fever Amber Wine 2020

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

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

Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz Barrel Aged Gin (2020 Edition) 700ml

2020 Edition - Available for collection/shipping on/after 4th July.

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

"We steeped Yarra Valley Shiraz grapes in gin for eight weeks. The fruit was de-stemmed but kept mainly as whole berries, and the tanks were kept cold and stirred daily. After eight weeks we pressed the fruit before blending with more Rare Dry Gin.

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

Gembrook Hill "Village" Pinot Noir 2020

It seems like the folk at Gembrook Hill have found another gear for this wine. It's still expressing its cool site heart, but there's another pound of weight in it, a more generous fruit driven layer, sweeter, riper fruit. It's succulent and smashable with red current, cherries and dark, comforting spice. A glorious example of Gembrook Hill Village.

Gembrook Hill Estate "IJM" Pinot Noir 2018

It was 1983 when Ian and June Marks found their vineyard site after a long search for the perfect pocket of land throughout almost every wine region in Victoria. With Views of Mt Donna Buang, red soil and a coveted north-easterly aspect, it is the perfect spot for cool climate winemaking. In 2017 the visceral reaction to the sudden death of Ian was to produce a wine in his honour. This was a tiny batch of Pinot Noir drawn from … more

Gembrook Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2018

"It presents in its signature transparent way but the complexity is all there and so too is the length. This is an excellent wine. Undergrowth and cranberries, sweet herbs and woodsmoke, ripe cherry and a sourness about the edges. They could trademark this style; they turn it out each year as if it's easy. A turn of tannin leads you out through the finish. It's a garden of a wine, well tended, brimming with good health." - Winery Notes
