This Moorooduc vineyard is planted soley to red varieties, or at least it was! However, they now also produce a Pinot Grigio, a Sauvignon Blanc, and a Chardonnay.
Savaterre Pinot Noir is one of the benchmarks Pinots in Australia.
Keppell Smith was taught how to make wines by Phillip Jones of Bass Phillip so it is hardly surprising that he can make Pinot! It is also wonderful to see a slight vintage variation in both the Chardonnay and the Pinot Noir with the 2006 of both wines being just outstanding.
We always say that we are in a very privileged position in that we have a Wine Club and a significant proportion of our clientele that know their wine and are interested in expanding their knowledge base. As such, Hurley vineyard was actually a recommendation from a regular customer and wine club member.
We are pleased to stock a new Pinot Gris from a small vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula called Phaedrus. Owner/winemaker Maïtèna grew up on a vineyard, while partner Ewan had always appreciated wine. It was only a matter of time until they decided to create Phaedrus in 1997.
Dinny Goonan Family Estate is a vineyard that continues to go from strength to strength since their establishment in the late 1980s. They are located at Winchelsea on the Otway Ranges of South Western Victoria (they are actually classified as Geelong!) and produce a modest 1000 cases of high quality wine each year. Recently, they were awarded a five star rating by James Halliday in his 2010 Wine Companion.
Paramoor Wines is a small vineyard between Woodend and Kyneton in the Macedon Ranges with Hanging Rock just around the corner. Operating since 2003, the vineyard is run and owned by Dr Will Fraser, who also happens to be the formed MD of Kodak Australia.
Savaterre owned and operated by Keppell Smith is located very close to the Victorian Alps at Beechworth and provides perhaps one of the very best Pinots in Australia as well as a luscious Chardonnay.
No exoense is spared in both the growing and production of these wines with very select pruning taking place to maximise both flavour and style.
Production is very limited with most of the wines being allocated annually to Quantas for First Class passengers and the rest of us share in the remainder !
Ned's Vineyard is so called as many years ago a person actually called Ned was associated with the area so the locals would just say " I am going to Ned's " whenever they were visiting the area !
This is one of THE pinots of Australia - James Halliday rated this Pinot as his best !
There are 4 in their range of Pinot Noir with the The Tomboy being a single vineyard wine and The Rebellion being a blend from other Ballarat vineyards yet both are such nice wines ! We have also recently received some Ava's Picking and Smythes Creek, which are both sensational.
The Chardonnay is also available in several ways with the principal winebeing the Goldfields and again the Rebellion in this series again being a local blend.
A tiny vineyard of only two hectares in the heart of the glorious Pyrenees at Moonambel, Counterpoint Vineyards makes some lovely wines at very affordable prices.
