What does one buy for a husband of almost twenty years who buys for himself whatever he wants! A great Nebbiolo rivals Pinot Noir in its elusiveness and Ray loves nothing more than a challenge...
Our limited release Gippsland Pinot Noir - part of Ray's Pinot Coast terroir exploration in 2018. Currently being poured at Farmer's Daughter - Limited stock available.
From a cooler year that produced beautiful quality Shiraz. This wine is a pure expression of the rich fruit and spicy aromatics of Australian shiraz as well as the development of the savouriness and texture reminiscent of Syrah. A truly delicious wine.
This wine, Le Droit, is 50% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 vintage in Geelong was cool and very long, making it exceptional for these varieties. Le Droit is characterised by a voluptuous palate of dark berry, licorice, and spice.
La Gauche is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc. The 2021 vintage was cool and very long, making it exceptional for these varieties. Le Gauche is characterized by cassis aromas with concentrated tannin & structure.
In 2022, while visiting friend Phillipe Viet in Beaujolais, Ray was offered a special parcel of fruit from biodynamically grown 100 year old Cru Régnié vines. This is the result.
Grenache (60%) Morvedre & Syrah. Cool fermented in large open top wooden fermenters with wild yeast for 20 days. No maceration just gentle pigeage and hand plunging. Pressed off with pressings included, settled then transferred into 500L 2 year old French Oak puncheons for 11 months.
Hugo George is not often made but when it is, it’s an absolute delight. Savory notes of sour cherries, lavender, and plump, juicy Victoria Plumbs. The back palate has a woodfired, smokey finish with sweet spices and cured meat.
