I've been having day dreams about the Nannup Hot Bread shop pies. How good are pies?! 🤣

Heard a rumour that there's new owners, hopefully the quality stays the same 🤞🏻🥧

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts 🍇🍷

I first met Mark Jolliffe, one Friday night in 2017 at the @cowtowndsc
He introduced himself and we got talking, he was a wine grower and I was a winemaking student at the time...new best friend! 😂

I first visited his vineyard in Wilyabrup in 2017 and again in 2018, ambitiously trying to get fruit off him each time.
In 2019 he relented and let me buy a tonne.

The 2019 Jolliffe Cabernet is the culmination of an innocent chat over a beer, which grew into something far greater than I could have imagined.
A great wine, made better by a great friendship.

New for 2021 is a little collab with @chrismasten7 for @unearthedwine 💥

Chardonnay sourced from Wilyabrup, pressed to a mix of new and old oak and fermented wild. Acids are pretty racey, so I think there'll be some malo for sure 🤤

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.

Official launch of the 2020 Pet Nat!! 🍾

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! 🍾
