“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.

Lethbridge Estate Pinot Noir 2018

$348.00

Winery: Lethbridge

Region: Geelong - Victoria

Winemaker: Ray Nadeson

Varietal(s): 100% Pinot Noir

It’s an out-and-out ripper. Smoky, bunchy, well-fruited, dense, finessed, so many things. Powerful lines delivered with grace. It’s excellent throughout
but the finish has that extra something.

Sourced from four single vineyards in Geelong, two in the Moorabool Valley (Hillside Haven & Springbank) and two from the Bellarine (Hat Rock &
Suma Park). All fruit was hand-picked and fermented separately to keep the individual vineyard characters distinct. Each parcel was treated the same; wild yeast fermented with around 40% whole bunches. The wine was then matured
for 10 months in 40% new French oak barriques. After rigorous tastings we blended the wines to create this wonderful Pinot Noir in the Lethbridge style.

Lethbridge Estate Chardonnay 2019

$350.00

Winery: Lethbridge

Region: Geelong - Victoria

Winemaker: Ray Nadeson

Varietal(s): 100% Chardonnay

Fresh nectarine, ginger spice and a touch of cream wound together with zesty
acidity. This Chardonnay should develop over the next 5-10 years in the cellar, retaining acidity and the fruit flavours developing into grilled
nuts and baked nectarines.

The fruit for this wine comes from the Suma Park Vineyard on the Bellarine Peninsula yielding one tonne/acre. The hand-picked fruit was whole bunch pressed into 100% new French oak puncheons for fermentation and MLF by indigenous yeast on full solids. The wine components were then matured in 30% new French oak barrels on gross lees for a further 11 months prior to blending and bottling.

Moorooduc Estate "Estate" Pinot Noir 2023 Pinot Noir Oz Terroirs

Moorooduc Estate "Estate" Pinot Noir 2023

$285.00

Winery: Moorooduc Estate

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: Richard McIntyre

Varietal(s): 100% Pinot Noir

Bright ruby colour with the most beautiful aromatic nose of lifted juicy red and black cherry, rose petals and violets, and hints of strawberry, raspberry and mulberry. On the palate red cherry fruit is centre stage, with some more savoury thyme, rosemary and lavender herbal notes and a hint of Chinese five spice. Firm, fine grained tannins add structure to the wine, as does juicy red fruited acidity. Delicious to drink right now with a chunk of Ossau-Iraty cheese (traditionally served with a spoonful of cherry jam), and a lovely match to pan-fried duck breast with duck-fat roasted potatoes. Will age well if you have the patience!

Mayer "Dr Mayer" Pinot Noir 2024 Pinot Noir Oz Terroirs

VICTORIA

Mayer "Dr Mayer" Pinot Noir 2024

$500.00

Winery: Mayer

Region: Yarra Valley - Victoria

Winemaker: Timo Mayer

Varietal(s): 100% Pinot Noir

Estate grown, matured in seasoned hogsheads. A bright, light garnet, bold, structured, and driven by Timo’s signature whole-bunch fermentation.

“Whoa! In the green herb, white pepper and mezcal characters! Strap in. Lighter weight, a sluice of red cherry, rose hip cherry, all of this tightly wound with those green herb and peppery notes, skinny in its jive and cinched with ultra fine, silty tannin lending a long, drying pucker post sips. Fragrant, frisky, needs some time to see it elevate, but even now has a slinky swagger that should drag pinotphiles in. Sleek, elegant, personality plus."

$350.00

Winery: Allies

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: David Chapman

Varietal(s): 100% Pinot Noir

Single vineyard Pinot Noir from Mornington Peninsula. 360 bottles produced...

It's slightly warmer as you come down the hill and Balnarring can produce wonderfully opulent Pinots that still manage to retain a core of refreshing acidity. The 2019 Balnarring shows pure black cherry and blackcurrant aromas. The palate shows a lovely balance between acid and tannins with a powerful yet silky mid-palate given focus by soft persistent tannins.
