2015 RIVER BLOCK Shiraz
Read moreThe River Block sits on a limestone bluff alongside the Mitchell River. Planted in a seam of rich red soil layered over the limestone with a gentle easterly aspect, the River Block yields Shiraz of complexity and elegance.
Hand picked and gently destemmed into small open fermenters. Hand plunged twice daily. 100 day post ferment maceration. French oak maturation, 5o% new.
“…Technically difficult vinification has achieved all of its aims: the fruit is intense and long, yet elegant, and very expressive of cool grown shiraz with its red and black cherry composition. The new oak has been totally integrated, the mouthfeel supple and persuasive.” 96 Points. James Halliday, 2018 Wine Companion.
“It’s peppery, it’s fine-grained, it has a sense of ‘detail’ about it and it’s not in any way simple. Good from many angles, you might say. Cherried fruit, nutty oak, sappy characters and an all-round buoyancy. Ultra-fine tannin and impressive length. It’s an excellent wine”. 93+ Points. Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, March 2017.

2016 Myrtle Point Pinot Noir
Read moreSmall batch winemaking combining traditional methods with some use of wild yeasts and whole bunch ferments. French oak maturation. Bright cherry and plum fruit layered with savoury, earthy elements. Bottled unfiltered. 100% Estate grown, made and bottled.
“Estate-grown MV6 planted ’97, eight picking days 4-25 Mar, the majority destemmed, open-fermented with cultured yeast, 15% fermented with 30% whole bunches to allow some carbonic maceration, matured in new and used French oak, bottled unfiltered. This complex vinification has resulted in a very complex pinot, with red and purple fruits, abundant spices and savoury/earthy fine-grained tannins. This in turn leads to good length and texture.” 94 Points. James Halliday, 2018 Wine Companion.
“This Gippsland vineyard clearly grows good pinot noir. The complexity is there. It just needs time to build and grow and mature. Spices, beetroot, rhubarb, sweet cherries, orange peel and cranberry. If you cast a wide net you’ll reel in a wide variety of flavours and scents. Plenty of tang. Assorted goings on. It’s like flicking through a pinot diary”. 91+ Points.
