The 2020 growing season was ideal, warm but not hot, a perfect amount of rainfall in the growing season allowed fruit to be picked with a ripe and super fine tannin structure. Sourced from the original Dalwhinnie vineyard along with our Forest Hutt plantings, a little further down the hill. Fruit was harvested in distinct batches and fermented separately for 10–14 days. The wine was then pressed to tank to undergo malolactic fermentation and racked to largely seasoned French oak barrels. After 14 months maturation, the barrels were emptied and some Moonambel and Eagle Shiraz barrels were included in the final blend for further depth and complexity.

Bright crimson in colour with intense aromas of fresh red berries and brambly nuance, lifted by warm spice such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Elegant yet rewarding cool-climate wine from the Pyrenees in Victoria. It exhibits a beautifully ripe core of dark fruits, lifted by complex notes of cinnamon and star anise. Powder fine tannins and subtle French oak complete this regional classic. – Julian Langworthy, Dalwhinnie

About Dalwhinnie Wine

Hailed by critics and wine lovers alike, Dalwhinnie has been growing grapes for nearly 50 years and is now a fully mature vineyard, producing ultra-premium wines that are distinctive, elegant and reflect the benefit of a dry-grown vineyard.

Dalwhinnie is located near the small village of Moonambel in the heart of the Pyrenees region of western Victoria, Australia and is a super-premium producer of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

At 595 metres above sea level, Dalwhinnie is the highest and most remote of the Pyrenees district vineyards. Surrounded and sheltered by the highest range, this unique bowl of vines is located in a naturally undulating trough which falls away from the hills, forming an amphitheatre nestled into the ranges.
