Cabernet Franc will be back 2025 !!
We are super happy to have obtained some wonderful Cabernet Franc fruit from Glenhope vineyard situated in the North of the Macedon Ranges G.I. The fruit came in wonderfully ripe at a Baumé of 13.7 This was vinified using wild yeasts with minimal handling and is now resting in barrels waiting for warmer weather when M.L.F. will occur , hopefully by Christmas. This will soften the wine by reducing the Malic acid content in the wine. The wine was presented to a Red wine vintage tasting held by the Macedon Ranges Vignerons Association at the Cosmopolitan Hotel on July 18th and was met with much approval, already showing the classic Cab.Franc personality. Bottling will be around May 2025.

Pinot Noir 2013 availability
We are unfortunately in the position where when you don't have something, everyone wants it!! This is our plight with our Pinot Noir 2013. However there is still some stocks at certain liquor outlets in Kyneton, Woodend Wine Store or Malt & Vine in Newport, so give them a ring-phone numbers in our retail list in the Buy Wine Section. Good luck!
Cabernet Franc-Merlot 2012
This wine is showing lovely blackcurrant, strawberry, cherry & cassis aromas with peppery savoury spicy notes and an ultra smooth textural mouthfeel. Great weight and length to the palate. Drink with red meat, pasta, BBQ or casual dining- this wine has always been great with food or just by itself- very hard to put it down!
Pinot Noir 2013 Released September 2014
A fragrant, elegant and complex wine with a bouquet of cherry, plum, strawberry, spice and earthy notes. The texture is very silky with a palate of considerable depth and length that expands on the finish. This wine will develop added complexity over the next 3-5 years for those who wish to cellar.
Isanda Chardonnay 2013 Released September 2014
Made with an eye to our love of Chablis Chardonnay, the grapes for this wine were picked earlier than our other Chardonnays and matured on gross lees for ten months before bottling. The resultant wine has the typical mineral flinty characteristics of this style, with grapefruit, pear and citrus aromas, a fine boned acidic line that leads to an extremely long finish. A lovely textural, clean mouthfeel.
Cottage Chardonnay 2015 Released September 2015
Our Cottage Chardonnay has been on lees for four months with regular lees stirring as like our Barrel fermented Chardonnay. This has brought an increased depth and complexity within the structure of the wine. Lovely purity of fruit, nectarine, citrus, grapefruit and white peach with a minerally edge. Elegance and power with a long clean finish. Great with seafood and lighter summer dishes.
Chardonnay 2013 Released April 2015
100% Barrel fermented, this wine displays a great balance between fruit, acid and oak.The nose displays grapefruit, nectarine, white peach, and citrus that weaves its way around oak and acid. The palate is fine, but focused, textured but taut delivering an elegant sustained finish.
James Hallidays Wine Companion 2016
