This year’s blend is 65% Cahilton vineyard in the lower Yarra Valley (a limestone-rich, west-facing slope in the Gruyere subregion) and 35% Gunnabee vineyard in the upper Yarra Valley (a north-facing slope of volcanic soils to the east of the Dandenong Ranges).

The Cahilton fruit was gently destemmed to open-top fermenters for some skin contact. Natural fermentation started after a few days, and the grapes were then pushed around a bit to extract colour, flavour and tannin. The Gunnabee fruit was pressed directly to old barrel on full solids for wild ferment. After 2 weeks it was pressed off skins to old barrels and puncheons where it underwent malo and aged for four months. No fining, no filtration and just minimal sulphur used at bottling.

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
