Our 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.
Grapes hand picked and destemmed into a small open fermenter. Fermented at lower temperature to retain fruit vibrancy and varietal character. Maturation for 10 months in French Oak Barriques and Hogs Heads, 25% new.

Our 2017 Home Block Chardonnay is a wine of subtle intensity and power, made from a small parcel of fruit taken from the ‘Home Block’ of Chardonnay within the Myrtle Point vineyard. The wine reflects the intensity of fruit character that the Myrtle Point Vineyard can produce. An intense aroma of melon and peach with a complex almond character. On the palate, initial flavours of melon and peach develop into a creamy, textured wine with nutty tones and excellent acid length.
“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, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front 2019.

Aromatic with violets, cherry and plum, this wine has a full and textured palate with superb varietal fruit character and integration even at a young age. An exceptional example of Gippsland Pinot Noir. The Cliff Block is planted on a limestone bluff high above the Mitchell River at the southern end of the Myrtle Point Vineyard. The exposed site is naturally low yielding and consistently produces Pinot Noir with great intensity and complexity.
