Single Block Three Pack
Read moreOur Single Block wines represent the best of what we do. We keep a close eye on fruit in the different blocks of the vineyard to find the most concentrated and balanced flavours. These wines are more structured and intense and great to keep in the cellar for special occasions.
2017 Home Block Chardonnay A Chardonnay for Chardy lovers. More oak, more Malo, more of everything really. Complex, layered and exceptional citrussy length.
2016 Cliff Block Pinot Noir From vines grown at the edge of the escarpment in shallow top soil, yielding smaller bunches of smaller berries. More whole-bunch fermentation, and more new oak. A darker and more savoury expression of Pinot Noir with texture and earthy complexity.
2016 River Block Shiraz The dark horse that always impresses. 100 day post-ferment extended maceration, and 50 % new oak. Ripe blue and black berry fruit and soft mouth-filling tannins. Cool-climate shiraz at its most opulent.
*Not included toward 6 bottle discount. To receive the discount order wines individually.

2015 Myrtle Point Shiraz Three Pack
Read moreTom stumbled across a few extra cases of the 2015 Myrtle Point Shiraz. We cracked a bottle over lunch and really enjoyed it’s evolution into this dark gem. Rich, Cedary, with Christmas pudding spice, it seems perfect for these cooler nights in hibernation.

2016 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. 11 month French oak maturation, 40% new.
“Unequivocally struts its cool climate DNA, but it still feels ripe and approachable. Dark fruit, peppery spice, cedar and liquorice are all in play; the medium bodied palate with supple tannin” – 95 Points, 2020 Halliday Wine Companion.
Yield: 1.9 t/acre.

2017 HOME BLOCK Chardonnay
Read moreThe Home Block was the first planting of vines at the Myrtle Point property in 1995. Positioned on a limestone bluff high above the Mitchell River, the Home Block consistently produces Chardonnay of concentration and complexity.
Grapes picked, pressed and juice run directly into barrels for fermentation on full solids. 11 month maturation on lees in French oak Puncheons and Hogs Heads, 37% new.
” Only 222 dozen bottles made despite the perfect growing season, the limitation being the small parcel from within the Home Block. Pressed straight to oak (20% new) for fermentation and 11 months maturation. The fruit aromas and flavours span white peach, grapefruit and melon, the oak no more than a textural play” 95 Points – 2021 Halliday Wine Companion
“Highly varietal and highly delicious. Pear, apple and steely stonefruit characters burst onto the palate and swing persistently through the finish. Juicy flavour aplenty, and length to impress”. 93 Points, Cambell Mattinson, The Wine Front 2019.
Clones: P58, I10V3, G9V7
