Its been a busy few weeks in the winery, with most of the whites harvested and safely locked away 😎

The rain and cooler weather has caused a few dramas in the vineyard, but its good to hear everyone is remaining optimistic!

Arguably the superior white varietal, the 2020 Viognier continues to be hard to pronounce but easy to drink 😜

2020 saw acids and sugars ripen in in harmony, which is making for some excellent drinking now.

Nearly 100% of the fruit we buy each year is farmed organically.

Farming organically is sometimes easier said than done, especially on a large scale. That's why its super impressive to see what @leehaselgrove at @swinneywines has achieved in Frankland River, where we buy Shiraz & Tempranillo.

Soil health forms such an important building block for vine health and ultimately fruit quality.

Cheers to that! 🍷

Black Cocky in BALLARAT!

Having been born, bred and lived in Ballarat for 20 years I couldn't be more stoked that my first Vic stockist is at my favourite bottle shop, @campanasdeli 😁

My grandparents, parents, uncles & aunties have all shopped at Campana's and I'm proud to have my wines stocked in such a quality store, along side quality Ballarat region wines! Cheers! 🍾

This year is looking really floral and ginger with great acid to match. We're also using larger format, old French oak with a small portion in stainless.

While I was doing winemaker things (sleeping), @mattytrent was sourcing me some fantastic Swan Shiraz.
This Shiraz is destined for a new little project 🥫👀
