What's New
2009 More Medals than ever
before.
Quite simply we are committed to the constant improvement of our
wines. Hard to do when one of your wines, 2005 Shiraz Viognier, win
‘2007 Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide’s, Wine of the Year’. In
2008 however this commitment was rewarded with a total of 24 medals
from Australian and International Shows. While we are committed to
doing even better in 2009 at least this is a strong endorsement of
the style and quality we are producing.
New Introductions in 2009.
2009 will be another big step in our plan to introduce wines that
are in sync with the environment and consumer’s willingness to
explore new styles. We will add to our line up of Shiraz Viognier,
Marsanne Roussanne, Mourvedre new varieties including Albarinho and
Pinot Gris.
Both will be sourced from cool climate high country areas in the
Strathbogie ranges. The grapes are ripening well and show potential
some really exciting wines of very high quality that we will still
offer at less than $20 a bottle. We expect to release both wines
around August.
New Vintages.
Whites.
Late last year we released our 2008 Viognier. Already it has won
two silver and two bronze medals from shows in Australia and
overseas. Viognier can often be a difficult grape to work with but
Terry Barnett has produced a wine that some have rated 5 star (click

The 2008 Chardonnay was bottled in January and after a month of
settling it will be released to the trade and wine writers. 2008
was a great year for our Chardonnay grapes so we are looking for
big things from this wine. (See the

Red.
Our flagship Shiraz Viognier has moved to the 2007 vintage. It has
already been rated as one of the top 10 Shiraz wines under $20 by
Master of Wine Toni Paterson. In limited showings it has won a
silver medal and four bronze medals. Just recently the Herald Sun
rated it 41/2 stars (click to
