Welcome

New Release Reds update

The 2008 Mataro Grenache Shiraz is now released. Bottled a couple of months ago, I wanted to capture the rich ripe fruit characters in the bottle,and pull back from the secondary characters that are achieved by longer barrel maturation. The wine is slowly making it's way into quality retail outlets and restaurants around Australia and overeas. Some good news: despite my grape and productions costs increasing, I am able to maintain the price of this release at the same price it has been for 5 years, much to the disgust of my bank manager. Also, I am bottling a Limited amount of the 2007 Mataro. It was the only red variety I was happy with out of the 2007 Vintage, and there has been enough interest (but more importantly, the quality is there) to justify this special bottling. Watch this space for more on that.
And, as Vintage 2009 comes to a close, I'm very excited by the quality of wines I now have tucked away in barrel. The close of this vintage also means it is just a matter of months before the 2009 Adelaide Hills Viognier is released-it's fermenting away slowly as we speak.
And, finally for now, thanks to all those who have emailed and asked to be added to the mailing list, your support is appreciated and not taken for granted..
