$1,480.00

Winery: Joshua Cooper

Region: Western Victoria - Victoria

Winemaker: Joshua Cooper

Varietal(s): 95% Cabernet Sauvignon 5% Shiraz

“A younger gen winemaker playing with some of the most significant, older vine cabernet going around is pretty exciting.”

Mike Bennie

I have a distinct soft spot for the Cabernet wines produced by the pioneering wineries of Central and Western Victoria, many of which seem ageless even now.

Vintage 2022 saw the ideal mild ripening conditions for the classic medium-bodied and finely structured style of wine I love, while opportunity arose to work with three new vineyard sources. These perfect circumstances led to the realisation of a long held desire - the first wine in what will be a series of one-off blends based around old vine material from Central and Western Victoria. A distinct nod to the great multi-regional tete de cuvée blends of the 50s and 60s.

Four historically significant sites contribute to the Old Vine Cuvée (single vineyard releases of each will follow later in the year.)

Late ripening Greytown Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon co-planted in the 1950s by European migrants in sandy loam overlying quartz and ironstone rich gravels in the North-

Eastern corner of the Heathcote GI, the vines are dry grown and produce incredibly concentrated clusters at low sugar levels, full of tannin and complexity.

Balgownie 1970 Block Cabernet Sauvignon should need no introduction, the legendary vineyard planted by the visionary Stuart Anderson. Kickstarting the modern Central Victorian wine industry from his base in Maiden Gully, Bendigo and producing wines with a revered cellaring track record. Gravel, quartz, sandstone and shale make up the soil profile and imbue huge tannic depth and complexity to the fruit.

Similarly to the early work done by Stuart Anderson, Neill Robb established his Redbank winery in the heart of the Pyrenees in the 1970s, which now supplies to me a small parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon. Again dry grown, and again rooted deep in shale, quartz and clay soil, the blocks are also overlayed with water holding red, iron rich loam. Ball bearing-sized berries enable picking at moderate sugar levels, with a deep and exotic fruit profile.

The Williams Vineyard, also planted in the early 70s by Laurie Williams - an early sounding board and guide to so many local vignerons - has intrigued me since childhood. Planted in decomposed granitic gravel on the outskirts of the Kyneton township, I’ve passed it most days of my life travelling to or from my family’s Cobaw Ridge estate. A small holding of just a few acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and once bottled as ‘Flynn and Williams’ the resultant wine in its heyday enjoyed a similar reputation to those of Virgin Hills and Balgownie.

The Old Vine Cuvée is comprised of 45% Greytown, 37.5% Balgownie, 15% Redbank and 2.5% Williams Vineyard. A higher proportion of press wine was retained for the blend, and elevage took place for 12 months solely in one-year-old blonde toasted barrels - 300L “hogsheads” from Stockinger and 228L “Magic Casks” from Laurent.

No fining, filtration or additives other than a small amount of sulphur dioxide.

Glass staining deep purple, the aromatics are strikingly redolent of the Australian landscape, scrub and wild herb, sunbaked red earth, cocoa, pepper and spice complexity engulf dark, perfectly ripened blackberry and cassis fruit. Violet floral top notes lend a sense of airiness to the otherwise saturated aromas.

While the flavour profile remains dark and saturating on the palate, it is built around layer upon layer of fine fruit tannin - keeping the wine medium-bodied and lively.

Please decant well prior to enjoying as a young wine, or cellar well.

A.Rodda "Tête de Cuvée" Cabernets 2018 赤霞珠（紅酒）

$680.00

Winery: A.Rodda

Region: Beechworth - Victoria 澳大利亚维多利亚州

Winemaker: Adrian Rodda

Varietal(s): 74% Cabernet Sauvignon 24% Merlot 2% Petit Verdot 赤霞珠梅乐小维尔多 (红）

Tete de Cuvee is a french term used to describe a winery's top release - the pride of the estate. To continue the french them, this is Adrian Rodda's paean to Bordeaux, a Cabernet Sauvignon blend that also features Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot.

It's Australian Cabernet of high order, though firm and proud currently, and needing to cellar. Poised and dense, bathing in chocolate and blackcurrant flavours and held in check by ripe but potent tannins. The fruit source is the Smith's Vineyard, planted in 1978.

It's a first release, and a partner wine to the similarly excellent Triangle Block Chardonnay. Stash some in the cellar.

"Tête de Cuvée" 是一个法语术语，用于描述酒厂的顶级出品——酒庄的骄傲。延续这种法语主题，这款酒是 Adrian Rodda 对波尔多的颂歌，是一款以赤霞珠为主的混酿酒，同时还包含了梅洛和少量的小维多。

这是一款高档的澳大利亚赤霞珠，目前表现得坚韧而骄傲，仍需熟成。它的口感优雅而浓郁，浸透着巧克力和黑加仑的风味，伴随着成熟但强劲的单宁。水果来源于1978年种植的史密斯葡萄园。

这是首批发布的酒款，与同样优秀的Triangle Block Chardonnay形成搭配。建议在酒窖中存放一些。

Allies Vermouth “Cinq à Sept” DRY Chardonnay 霞多麗（苦艾酒）

$395.00

Winery: Allies

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria 澳大利亚维多利亚州

Winemaker: David Chapman

Varietal(s): Pinot Noir + aromatics 黑皮諾

Dry, bitter and fragrant. The Cinq a Sept Extra Dry is specifically designed for those that love a very dry Martini but can be used a range of cocktails. The components are Lemon and Grapefruit peel, Cardamom, Fennel seed, black Pepper, Rosemary, Thyme, Lemon Thyme, Tarragon, Oregano and Angelica. The palate has imperceptible sweetness and is quite (some would say very) bitter. Its a mixer. We love our version of a Dry and Dry using the ED and some Bundaberg Ginger beer but use it in anything for an aromatic lift and a bitter twist.

干燥、苦涩且芬芳。Cinq a Sept Extra Dry 特别为那些喜爱非常干的马提尼的人设计，但也可以用于多种鸡尾酒。其成分包括柠檬和葡萄柚皮、豆蔻、茴香种子、黑胡椒、迷迭香、百里香、柠檬百里香、龙蒿、牛至和当归。它的口感有着难以察觉的甜味，较为（有些人会说非常）苦涩。这是一种混合饮品。我们喜欢用ED和一些邦达伯格姜啤酒调制的干干版，但也可以用在任何饮品中，以增加香气和苦味的层次。

Allies “Assemblage” Chardonnay 2019 霞多麗（白葡萄酒）

$280.00

Winery: Allies

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: David Chapman

Varietal(s): 100% Chardonnay

The Assemblage is a composite blend of vineyards from across the Mornington Peninsula and is matured in vast French oak barrels called Foudre. These beautiful barrels have very thick staves and wine matures slowly, ensuring that the delicate aromas and flavours are not lost. The resulting wine is vibrantly flavoured with silky, supple structure and ready to enjoy earlier without sacrificing intensity or character. 2019 was another record breaking year for drought and heat. November was warm and dry, delivering an excellent balanced crop. Thereafter, the weather was remarkably dry and also quite hot in February which caused significant and atypical vine stress. Often these years are associated with overripe and low acid wines but curiously, although alcohols are up, the grapes were harvested with good acid. Why? Nobody knows. However, the resulting wine is dark, rich, vibrant and very delicious.
