Angoris Villa Locatelli

Angoris was founded in 1648 when the Emperor of Austria Ferdinand III donates 300 fields with one of the most fertile soils to officer Locatello Locatelli for merits gained during battle in the Thirty-Year War. From this time on the quiet woods, green hills and gentle vineyards of the Angoris estate became a retreat for royalty from throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Villa Locatelli, which still dominates the estate, became a symbol of quality and hospitality and the wines that came from the estate made their way throughout the royal courts of Europe.

Over three centuries have passed and the Tenuta Angoris, one of the most prestigious Friulian wineries from time immemorial, is today managed with renewed enthusiasm and the entrepreneurial spirit of another Locatelli family. Certification of their winemaking traceability by S.Q.N.P.I. Agroclimatic Environmental Compliance.

Artea

From the higher and cooler foothills of the Provence Alps, Artea bursts with aromatics well beyond those offered in the more supple wines further to the south.

ATR Wines

By combining global winemaking experience with a regional flavour, ATR is bringing a bold and pioneering winemaking approach to the cool-climate Grampians. Breaking the mould with cutting edge blends from alternate varieties and a modern approach to traditional varieties, ATR’s wines are a contemporary reflection of their place in the Australian bush.

Avignonesi

The winery is named after the Avignonesi family, the founders of the original estate. In 2009, Avignonesi was acquired by Virginie Saverys who has since introduced organic and biodynamic farming methods to craft distinct, genuine wines with an even stronger character, and has acquired additional vineyards and a state-of-the-art winemaking facility in the Montepulciano appellation. They believe that the life force of the earth and the uniqueness of the terroir are at the heart of their brand. Avignonesi is reborn from the soil of their vineyards with each vintage in wines that mirror the subtle flavours of the site and the special traits of each year. The wines express the richness and beauty of the Montepulciano territory. They respect the heritage of Montepulciano, where Sangiovese wines have been produced for centuries, and wish to contribute to its future by being the finest representative of its heritage that they can be.

Bacaro

Bacaro is a young estate in southwestern Sicily, whose vineyards caught the eye and winemaking talents of Valentino Sciotti. Valentino saw they had great vineyards and a good winery but were missing the necessary expertise to make wines the market required. Valentino and his team of young winemakers have taken the raw materials and transformed them into wines that people want to drink. The vineyards for Bacaro were planted in 2005 on the hills around Lake Arancio in Sambuca di Sicilia in southwestern Sicily.

Bekkers

Emma (the winemaker) and Toby (the viticulturist) Bekkers have quickly made a reputation for themselves among the McLaren Vale wine community for their exacting standards. All of the fruit is handpicked and sorted, with one of the main goals being to remove raisined berries. They’re looking for fresh red and blue fruit flavors that are more delicate than dried fruit or fruitcake flavors, Emma says. The wines tend to blend multiple sites to achieve the balance that they’re seeking in their wines, choosing grapes from close to the coast to blend with grapes from higher, inland locations.

Beklyn Wines

In 2002 Mark and Rebekah Shaw built their family home, with three young children, on their property in Currency Creek on the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula. Here their love for producing wine took flight and they planted their first vineyard. The property was named Beklyn meaning “Pretty Brook” which derives from the passage of water flowing through the Beklyn Estate. After years of anticipation their dream to produce an individually hand-crafted wine from their own vineyard has had realised with the 2018 Beklyn Shiraz. The wine it expresses the very best attributes of the Currency Creek region. Mark and Rebekah hope you enjoy the ‘fruits’ of our labour as much as they do.

Bellvale Wine

Established in 1998, Bellvale Wine is a family-owned business run by principal winemaker and viticulturalist, John Ellis. Situated in the lush Tarwin River Valley of South Gippsland, the area is acknowledged as one of Australia’s best pinot noir producing regions. The Bellvale label features two majestic oak trees that grace the centre of its vineyard. John aims to produce wines of the quality and integrity of the premium producers of the Burgundy region.

Boat O’ Craigo

Our winery’s distinctive name echoes that given to a farm in the town of Craigo in Scotland. Where our ancestors settled alongside the docking point for the ferry that crossed the North Esk River. The Boat O’Craigo name and tradition have drifted across seas to settle and book-end Victoria’s burgeoning Yarra Valley with two magnificent vineyards, one in Healesville and the other in Kangaroo Ground. One red, the other white. Boat O’Craigo practices organic winemaking and production wherever possible: no pesticide use, use of organic ingredients and additives, hand picking fruit, and utilising nutritional and natural compost in the vineyard.


As with the ferry’s docking-point, it is here at the gateways to the Yarra Valley that the physical journey of our travels ends, although the journey of the senses is only just beginning. A James Halliday 2018 Dark Horse Winery.

Bonacchi

Located in the Chianti heartland, Bonacchi have been growing, making and marketing quality Tuscan wines for three generations.


Bonacchi uses estate-grown fruit from across the region: Montalbano; Castelnuovo Berardenga; Montalcino and utilises their modern Montalbano winery and techniques to produce this premium range.


The Chianti ‘Gentilesco’ is the result of careful fruit selection, creating a young, fresh style . Yet it is the Chianti Riserva that Bonacchi pride themselves on, adhering to the DOCG ruling that a ‘Riserva’ must be aged for at least two years prior to release.

Castle Rock Estate

Named after a prominent nearby landmark, Castle Rock Estate is nestled on the eastern slopes of the Porongurup mountains.

The winery has been built in a way that makes use of the natural slope of the land with wine moved via gravity. Not only is this a more sustainable process, but gentler on the wine thus retaining quality. Castle Rock Estate is activley reducing their carbon footprint; their winery is solar powered, all waste water is treated with a pond aerator (100% solar powered), they utilise only rain water and use no pesticides or insecticides. Rob prefers to facilitate the natural balance of the vineyard; this allows for a heathy and strong microcosm.

The 2017 Pinot Noir has recently been award 95 points from Ray Jordan Top 100 Red Wines. Jordan states “Rob Diletti is a first-class winemaker. He is consistently one of Australia’s best…He really does know how to capture the best in the fruit and you can always guarantee that whenever he got his hands on the wine, it’s going to be good.” Rob Diletti has also been named as a Gourmet Traveller Winemaker of the Year 2019 finalist!

Cave de Ribeauvillé

Created in 1895, Cave de Ribeauvillé is based in one of the most famous Alsace villages, former Kingdom of the Counts of Ribeaupierre. Ribeauvillé, is located between Colmar and Strasbourg. Cave de Ribeauvillé has 100% parcel traceability, an environmental protection policy (organic or sustainable viticulture) and certfied organic by Ecocert. All wines 100% hand harvested.

“Every process is entirely dedicated to the quality of the grapes, so that they arrive in best shape to the press and can release their juice by a slow and respectful pressing. The vinification gives a maximum respect to the grape must, allowing the juice precious time to decant calmly and extract the clear juice. It will then ferment at its own pace for several weeks or even months. Thanks to the experience of our oenologist Evelyne Dondelinger, interventions adapted to organic wines allow the optimal expression of terroirs in our wines. Very regular tastings along with the winemakers allow us to appreciate the evolution of the wines.”

Champagne Soutiran

Champagne Soutiran is a family owned domaine based in the Grand Cru village of Ambonnay. Patrick and Valerie Renaux, who represent the domaine’s third generation, cultivate 8 hectares of vineyards dedicated to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In Ambonnay, the chalk laden soils of the region are complemented by a higher degree of siliceous clay, which result in Champagnes that are often equipped with a more formidable structure than wines from other Grand Cru sites. Total production at this family owned domaine tops out at 70,000 bottles.

Chateau Peyrol

Peyrol is an exemplary example of wines from the area; pretty, pale pink with brilliant highlights. The nose lifts with fresh citrus fruit, crushed red berries and a hint of dried orange peel. Beautifully textural, a great food-friendly style and jumping with those fresh berry and citrus characters.

Clyde Park

Clyde Park Vineyard was established in 1979 when the varieties of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were planted on the property. Further plantings since have increased the vineyard to 35 acres and across these, we have 7 clones of Pinot Noir, 6 clones of Chardonnay, 2 clones of Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc and a sole clone of Pinot Gris.

The Jongebloed family have owned Clyde Park since 1996 and have concentrated on developing premium quality cool climate wines, which today are sold across Australia and recently have begun to export. They are proud to be a James Halliday 5 star rated vineyard for a number of years, and their wines have won numerous awards.

Cooper Burns

Cooper Burns is a winemaking partnership formed in 2004 by Mark Cooper and Russell Burns and is dedicated to producing tiny amounts of handcrafted, small batch, artisan wines from low yielding, super premium fruit from the Barossa Valley.

Using traditional winemaking methods with minimal intervention and maximum attention to detail, the aim is to make wines with soul, individuality and personality that express the qualities of the vineyard and the vintage, as well as the passion that went in to making them.

Devil’s Baie

Devils Baie is a small family enterprise crafting fine wine on the Mornington Peninsula.
The wines are sourced from low yielding, single vineyard sites located in Merricks North and Shoreham with an emphasis on making wines of purity that express these sites and reflect the season in which they are grown. The cool maritime climate of the Mornington Peninsula helps maintain moderate temperature throughout its growing seasons, creating optimal physiological ripening of the regions signature varieties

Devil’s Cave Vineyard

Devil’s Cave Vineyard is a family owned vineyard situated on the McIvor Range in the heart of the Heathcote township. Our vineyards are spread across four different sites, Three in the southern end of the region, Redesdale and the home site nestled amidst bushland on the McIvor range. The ancient soils are said to be some 500 million years old which display some of the best characteristics for viticulture and helps us to produce the world class Shiraz that Heathcote is well known for.

Domaine D’estienne

Varois is one of the cooler AOPs in the greater region of Provence and therefore produces more elegant styles. A lovely pale colour with, this wine has delicious notes of candied fruits and tart grapefruit citrus flavours, fruity tasting to the palate with an edge of savouriness. Well-rounded and very refreshing.

Domaine De La Motte

The story begins in the 1960’s in the heart of the Chablis vineyard thanks to Henri Michaut who takes care of the fields, the cows and the vineyard at the same time. At that time, the vineyard represented 2 hectares. His three sons Jean, Christian & Bernard joined him in turn, starting with Jean in 1970, followed by Bernard in 1974 and Christian in 1990. At the same time, Claude Robin also joined the adventure alongside the Michaut brothers in the 1980s for several years, as did Guillaume Michaut, son of Christian, in 2005.

From the 1970s onwards, the Michaut family’s harvest was sold to the “La Chablisienne” cooperative cellar. This is a group of winegrowers who produce and sell wine made from the grapes of its members. During the 1990s, the estate grew and now has 25 hectares of vines. The Michaut brothers then decided to develop the sale of bottles from their own vinification. The wines are made and bottled at the estate: a success since in 2011 they leave the cooperative to sell the wines from their own production. Adrien, Bernard’s son, joined the estate in 2010 and is now the sole manager of Domaine de la Motte. Since his arrival, the estate has continued to grow and today represents 53 hectares of vines.

Domaine Perraud

The Perraud family selects older-vine fruit from a series of hillside vineyards in the commune of La Roche Vineuse, from a lieu-dit called ‘La Grande Burette,’ one of the region’s top appellations and terroirs. Soils here are very chalky, which gives the wine its lacy textural quality and tangy, sea-salt finish.
Grapes are pressed whole-cluster and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in both tank and older French oak barrels (less than 10%) on fine lees. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Été

Été is made in the south of France by two winemakers trained in Australia. A thirst quenching, crisp, well-balanced rosé made from Grenache grapes bringing cherry and fruit flavours.

Fattoria Ormanni

The 13th Century Ormanni estate is located right in the heart of Chianti, between the towns of Poggibonsi and Castellina in Chianti. Proof of the incredible heritage of this Tuscan property can be found in Dante Alighieri’s “Divina Commedia”, where the Ormanni family is mentioned.

Fire Gully

Fire Gully farm was one of the original group settlement blocks taken up in 1922 in the Willyabrup locality of the Margaret River district. Bill and Kath Butcher took over the farm in 1946 and it was passed on to Ellis and Margaret Butcher in 1971. The property was named Fire Gully after two large bush fires in 1952 and 1970 that ravaged the gully which runs through the central block. The original farming activity on the plot was as a dairy and then as a beef farm. The first vines were planted in 1988 and the plantings extended in 1992 and 1997.

Fire Gully is one of the most beautiful and unique properties in Willyabrup and the range of wines produced from the vines there are truly delightful. The Fire Gully wines express the very essence of Margaret River regionality and quality and are recognised for consistent excellence with each passing vintage.

Fire Gully (Pierro) minimises their long term enviormental impact by using light-weight glass bottles (which reduces their carbon footprint by 44%), recycle winery water/waste and use their sheep for weed management. They prune their vines, sort bunches and sort individual berries (for red wine) all by hand.

Flametree Wines

Owned by the Towner family, Flametree Wines is a proud team, committed to producing consistent, distinctive Margaret River wines while building on long term, loyal brand advocates through memorable wine experiences.

The Sub-regional Series is a powerhouse of elegant, complex styles which typify the remarkable attributes of each of the unique terroirs within the region.

Fox Creek

Dr Jim Watts, a specialist and professor of surgery and his wife, (registered nurse) Helen began the Fox Creek story in 1984. They purchased a 32 hectare farming property in McLaren Vale and went about planting vines on the black clay soils. The Fox Creek ethic has always been based on respect for the land, a belief in using sustainable practices and a focus on producing outstanding wines in the vineyard. Their philosophy is to produce exceptionally high quality wines characteristic of the McLaren Vale region. Fox Creek implements many practices through their wine production to minimize long term enviormental impacts. Their cartons are made from recycable materials and all packaging elements (glass, caps, boxes & labels) are recycable. Rainwater is collected and stored in watertanks for winery use and winery wastewater is treated onsite.

Foxeys Hangout

After two decades of owning and running popular and award-winning Melbourne hospitaity businesses, brothers Michael and Tony Lee turned their years of love and knowledge of fine wines into a livelihood on Victoria’s beautiful Mornington Peninsula. The brothers planted their first vineyard in 1997, at Merricks North near the iconic Peninsula road junction named Foxeys Hangout, from which our label takes its name.
Their wines are the Peninsula’s first certified biodynamic wines. Great wines come from great vineyards: healthy soil, free of synthetic inputs that allows the natural character of each site tell its own story.

Gate 20 Two

Gate 20 Two is a family owned five hectare vineyard, situated on rolling slopes at the base of the spectacular gold diggings in Felton Rd. Bannockburn in Central Otago. This is an area of extraordinary beauty, surrounded by rugged thyme covered hills and mountains, lakes and rivers. It is also an area rapidly gaining recognition as one of the few areas in the world able to produce pinot noir of stunning quality and complexity. It’s pretty much a family affair on this Central Otago Winery. Their viticulture is ably managed and directed by James Dicey, the winemaker is Matt Dicey, and they do as much of the work towards achieving quality as they can themselves. The Dicey family have a longstanding relationship with Bannockburn and extensive knowledge of it’s various terroirs. They have been an integral part in the development of this region. They aim to produce intense rich flavours from vines that are managed for low yield and high quality harvests.

Geoff Merrill

Since establishing himself at Mt Hurtle winery in 1985 Geoff Merrill has achieved significant success at home and internationally. His elegant, subtle wines have culminated in major trophy wins including the coveted Jimmy Watson and The Wine Society Trophy. Geoff’s commitment to releasing wines to be enjoyed at the table has never wavered.

Heaven’s House Party

Kangarilla Road’s Kevin O’Brien and Silent Noise’s Charlie O’Brien are the creative geniuses behind the label Heaven’s House Party featuring Party Animal # 1 and Party Animal # 2. Father and son mashing it up back2back, making wine for “right here, right now”!

The seriously cool Party Animal #1 and Party Animal #2 label artwork is by Australian Artist Sam Patterson–Smith.

House of Cards

Elizabeth and Travis Wray established House of Cards in 2011 after returning to Yallingup from travelling overseas where Travis completed vintages in New Zealand and Canada. Ever since then they have thrown everything into creating a brand which reflects their passion for creating single vineyard wines of exceptional quality. They believe that to create beautiful wine you must first start with fruit of outstanding quality. Using organic sprays, cover crops and mushroom compost throughout the vineyard helps produce the best fruit possible while also focussing on environmental sustainability. House of Cards is currently in the process of becoming a certified organic vineyard.

Howard Vineyard

Howard Vineyard wines are estate grown from our family owned vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, one of Australia’s most exciting regions. Planted in 1998 Howard Vineyard has two vineyard sites. A Red and Rose producing vineyard at Mt Barker (450m). A slightly warmer site in a cool climate. This with our central approach of sustainable viticulture (including intensive hand pruning, shoot thinning, bunch thinning, low yields and hand picking) we are able to achieve optimal ripeness for Shiraz, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as world class Rosés from these varieties.

Our winemaking approach is to pick at optimal ripeness for lean flavours to showcase the quality and true expression of our vineyards. Our wines are light to medium body with vibrant flavoursand great natural acidity. Our new “400m” range refers to the height at which the wines are grown.

Hutton Vale Farm

“Almost from the very day I started out as a winemaker I’ve reckoned the fruit grown at the Angas family’s Hutton Vale Farm to be up there with the best I’ve seen in the Barossa. It’s the intensity of flavour you taste in the fruit from these vineyards…the incredible structure…that makes them a stand out.

Being given the chance to put my name to wine from vineyards of this calibre is great. But what takes the whole thing to another level is working with people like the Angas family as we put the word out there about these wines. It’s people like the Angas’ that I think sets the Barossa apart as an extraordinary place.

They, as much as the wine, are such a big part of the personality and the pulse of this region.” Kym Teusner

Jean-Marc Brocard

Domaine Jean-Marc Brocard consists of a single range of the great Chablis terroirs. The tillage, manual harvesting and the regulation of the yields have valued the vineyard and allowed the wines to gain in natural expression. The Domaine produces very pure wine, well defined with great vintages. Major raw chiseled and precise – combining freshness and density. Starting with a hectare of vines from his father-in-law, Emile Petit, Jean-Marc Brocard has created one of the most important Domaine in Chablis and Yonne Valley.

Jones Road

The Frewer family established Jones Road vineyard in 1997 at Somerville on the Mornington Peninsula overlooking Westernport Bay. The maritime climate of this region produces some of Australia’s best cool climate wines due to the late ripening, fertile soil and careful vineyard management. Winemaking at Jones Road starts in the vineyard; careful management of yields and hand-picking ensure that the grapes reach the winery in premium condition.

Julien Brocard

Julien Brocard has created a collection of Chablis grands vins titled ‘Les 7 Lieux’ (The Seven Places): seven wines, each soley from one of seven vineyards. Each Chablis vineyard differing in biodynamic practices, soil, location and sun exposure. Each of their vineyards are chosen for their quality, strength, sun exposure and terroir, are worked year after year following biodynamic principles. 7ème, Côte de Léchet, Les Vaudevey, Boissonneuse and Les Plantes (Petit Chablis) all impart a unique identity to the wines grown on them. 7ÈME is the wholly natural Chablis of the collection, cultivated using biodynamics and matured without filtering or the addition of sulphites, yeast or finings.

The wines are produced following an ethical, sustainable quality process for viticulture and winegrowing. Biodynamics has been a part of the Brocard’s history since 1997. The grapes come from plots that have not been treated with pesticides, fungicides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers for at least three years. This vineyard is cultivated with biodynamic preparations containing cow manure, silica and herbs, sprayed on as decoctions or compost teas to protect and fortify the soil and vines. Great care is taken to produce every bottle; each is wax dipped by hand.

Kangarilla Road

L.A.S Vino

Luck – Art – Science

Nic Peterkin, is the grandson of the late Diana Cullen (Cullen Wines) and the son of Mike Peterkin (Pierro). After graduating from Adelaide University with a Masters Degree in oenology, and travelling the world as a Flying Winemaker, he came back to roost in Margaret River with the ambition of making wines that are a little bit different, but also within the bounds of conventional oenological science. The intention is to keep the project small, and thus make only 200 dozen of each of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir (Albino Pinot) and Touriga Nacional (Pirate Blend). “The ethos I have followed making the wines is one of both quality and creativity. The aim is to make absolutely delicious, delectable and desirable drops and to discover new flavours in the world of wine. Our mantra is minimal intervention and where possible we aim to work with growers using sustainable vineyard methods. We hope you enjoy the wines as much as we enjoyed making them.”

La Villa

Whilst they may not have appreciated it when they were 22 year olds, Marcus and Gail Burns’ passion for food and wine was ignited during their first trip to Italy. Since returning there 26 years later and reuniting with friends and families, some of their greatest joys include making tortellini with Franca, making salumi with Livio and picking grapes with Marco at the Volpe winery. The passion displayed by their artisan friends was contagious and it encouraged them to develop their own vineyard in Tasmania, where Marcus’s family has grown apples and pears for three generations. At Emilia, named after Emilia-Romagna where they lived, their grapes are lovingly grown, hand pruned and hand picked before being crafted into premium wine under the watchful eye of winemakers, Fran Austin and Shane Holloway. Whilst their inspiration comes from years living in Italy, they will always endeavour be to produce wines that reflect the unique characteristics of the cool climate in Tasmania.

Le Grand Cros

Le Grand Cros is the story of a couple, Hugh and Jane Faulkner, who in 1989 fell in love with a vineyard at the heart of AOC Côtes de Provence. In 2000, their eldest son Julian took over the reins of the 24 hectares after completing a masters degree in vineyard management. Today they are one of the most technically innovative estates in southern France. Technology however doesn’t mean these wines are not handcrafted, indeed most of the grapes are hand-picked. Provence is the world capital of dry rosés and Le Grand Cros take theirs very seriously.

Leeuwin Estate

Leeuwin Estate, a boutique, family owned and operated winery located in the picturesque Margaret River district. Established as Margaret River’s fifth founding winery in 1974 by Denis and Tricia Horgan, with Robert Mondavi as consultant and mentor, today Leeuwin Estate is under the direction of two generations of the founding family. Leeuwin Estate was named as one of The Heritage Five in Langton’s Classificatinon VII; “most iconic Australian wines … of the Exceptional Classification.” The 2016 Art Series Shiraz has been named ‘Best Wine’ out of a tasting of 600 wines for Ray Jordan’s Top 100 Reds. Jordan states “…in many ways it is a breakthrough in style, delivering its payload with such deft touch… This is clearly one of the finest shiraz from Leeuwin,
displaying complexity at another level.”

Longhop

Longhop’s wines are the unique outcome of resilience and that quintessential Australian attitude of helping out a mate. Through relentless conviction, determination and authenticity they thoughtfully capture the seductive character of these distinctive regions they call home. The winemaking team of Tim Freeland and Domenic Torzi source precious vines from the Adelaide Plains, Barossa Valley and the Adelaide Hills’ hamlet of Forreston. Coupled with their non-interventional approach to winemaking, Longhop wines are lush, generous and full of flavour.

Louis Max

Maison Louis Max has been passionately producing the fine wines of Burgundy since 1859. To produce the best wines, you need the best grapes. That’s why Louis Max chose organic viticulture, which is one of the fundamental principles of the winery.

“There are two objectives to our organic viticulture: protection of the environment, and quality enhancement. Organic viticulture allows us to focus on the quality rather than quantity, while protecting our soils and terroir. Sustainability is the key; we want to ensure the Domaine will be passed on to future generations in a better condition than ever. We love to share our passion for the finest wines of Burgundy with you!”

Louis Robin

The Robin family has owned their vineyard in Chablis since 1836. In 1888 they moved to Chichée, a small village 3 km southeast of Chablis. Today, the family owns about thirty hectares of vineyards in the best locations in Chichée and Chablis.

Louis Robins Chablis places great emphasis on highlighting the fine aromas and the original mineral tones of the Chardonnay grape from the region. The grapes are harvested mechanically and vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks.

Madame Dumont

A superior sparkling wine. Madame Dumont is a delicate expression of French sparkling with aromas of lemon, citrus fruits & dried quince.

Alsacian wine is all about aromas. Floral and peachy smells fly out of the glass and many of the wines are unctuous enough to pair nicely with savory fowl, like roast quail. Alsace wines give the tingle of brilliant acidity but also offer a rich texture from moderate alcohol. The producers in Alsace rely on a balance of ripeness and alcohol to fill out the flavor.

Mahi / Kuku

Mahi, meaning ‘our work, our craft’, began in 2001, fulfilling a dream for Brian and Nicola Bicknell. Since their first vintage in 2001, they have built together a great group of growers who are committed to their land and to the wines that come from it. They still work with their original vineyard and over the years we have slowly built an understanding of the sites and now see a continuity and typicity in the wines. Mahi sources sustainable fruit and all vineyards that they work with are under the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) programme.

Masseria Setteporte

The winery Masseria Setteporte is located in a very unique place: on the south-western slope of the Sicilian vulcano Etna, in the town of Biancavilla, within the Etna D.O.C. area. Here, viticulture dates back to ancient times. The Portale family, owners of Masseria Setteporte, have passed their winemaking tradition down through generations. The farm was first modernised by Ferdinando Portale who turned the classic bush trained vineyards into a vertical trellis system, which is more suitable for modern growing techniques. In 2002 Piero Portale decided to carry on his father’s project, taking the farm from its original 12 ha to 27 ha, 16.5 of which are already planted with vines.

Medhurst

Farm and Vineyard sits on the ancient mountain derived soils of the Gruyere sub-region in the heart of the Yarra Valley. The 150 hectare property was planted to 12.3 hectares of vines in 2000, with blocks ranging from 130 to 208m altitude. The six blocks were specifically chosen to suit each variety planted; Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Aspect, soil type and sun exposure are all maximised to produce wines of exceptional poise, balance and character. Winemaker Simon Steele ensures the vineyard and the wines are cared for by hand with great attention to detail and bottled on-site.

Michel Guignier

“For me the wine is born in the earth, hence the interest to take great care of the soil. They must be as alive as possible to convey their character. This is the essential starting point for an authentic wine. For me a wine carries a story, I try to give my best at all stages of my work, in a coherence that combines rigor, mastery, respect for natural processes and intuition. The wine is the result, the wine the fruit. I started working my vines in organic farming by choice and personal conviction”.

Michel Guignier is a fourth generation vigneron in Villié Morgon, in the heart of the AOC Morgon appellation in Beaujolais. Guignier follows a traditional vinification “à la Beaujolaise” with no de-stemming and with only indigenous yeasts used for the fermentation. In keeping with his biodynamic practices, Michel prepares huge mounds of compost each year from cow droppings and includes the must of last year’s vintage.

Guignier’s wines display that transparent, ethereal, soil-driven quality that makes naturally-made, top Beaujolais so unique and joyful to drink.

Mr Mick

Named after K.H. (Mr Mick) Knappstein, a legend within the Australian winemaking industry. One of Mr Mick’s passions in life was to make wines for everyone to enjoy, a tradition his last apprentice, local winemaker Tim Adams continues in his name. Today Tim and his wife Pam are proud custodians of the landmark Leasingham property.

Mr Mick once said there were two types of people in the world: those who were born in Clare and those who wished they had been. In 1987 Mr Mick received an order of Australia for services to the wine industry.

Narkoojee

Narkoojee, meaning “place of flowers”, was a dairy farm owned and operated by Edna and Athelstan Friend, since the early 1940s. Their son Harry planted the first experimental vines back in 1980 and with his wife Val, moved to the property from Melbourne in 1995. Narkoojee had very humble beginnings with the Cellar Door operating out of a small weatherboard bungalow at the back of Harry and Val Friend’s house. The grapes were taken to the old butter factory in Glengarry, which served as their first winery. Today the winery enjoys a five red star status as rated by James Halliday. In terms of winemaking, father and son team, Harry and Axel Friend make for an unbeatable combination of talents. They share the desire to experiment with new techniques aiming to perfect the winemaking process, which gives Narkoojee wines their unique characteristics.

Old Plains

The Old Plains Wine Co. was established by Dominec Torzi and Tim Freeland in 2002. ‑their driving ambition was to salvage some of the last remaining old vine vineyards in the Adelaide Plains region of South Australia. These vineyards were generally planted post WWII by Italian migrants & returned servicemen. The vineyards survived intact until the mid ‘80’s when many were uprooted to make way for market gardens, almond orchards and housing. Families generally left and acre or two, or a couple of rows for the family cantina wine, we source fruit from these remnant vineyards and since 2002 have produced a range of shiraz, grenache and cabernet that oozes all the dark fruit flavour that only old vine handmade basket pressed wines can offer. Torzi & Freeland are traditionally taught winemakers, using traditional techniques. Vineyards utilise sustainable growing practices with the fruit hand-picked.

Paringa Estate

Founder and owner, Lindsay McCall, established the vineyard in 1985. He is lauded as one of the region’s handful of pioneers. He bought an old north-facing orchard and planted The Paringa vineyard. At an elevation of 140 meters it curls around the landscape like a vinous amphitheatre, sheltered from the harsh southwesterly winds. The deep, rich volcanic soils give power, flavour and structure to the wines. The vines are reaching their peak of maturity too, and this is a crucial factor in producing wine of the highest quality. In 2007, Paringa Estate was awarded the “Best Winery in Australia,” in the ‘James Halliday Wine Companion,’ an astonishing achievement for someone with no formal training in viticulture or winemaking.

Paul Louis

The Loire Valley is the largest producer of sparkling wine outside of Champagne. The region produces some of the most affordable sparkling wines made in the “Methode Traditionelle”; the production process made famous in Champagne.

This is a premium sparkling wine characterised by its fine beading and detailed palate flavours. Paul Louis Blanc de Blancs is a classic dry style sparkling made to enjoy in its youth to capture the brightness and freshness of a wine that is ideal as an aperitif, or a wine to celebrate with.

The newest addition to Paul Louis is the sparkling rosé. Maturing in bottle for 12 months, NV Paul Louis Rosé is an elegant and balanced sparkling rosé that cleanses the palate.

Paxton Wines

Paxton are leaders in both organic and biodynamic viticulture and winemaking. Fruit for all wines are sourced solely from estate vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia. In 2000 the family released their first wine under the Paxton label: the 1998 Paxton Shiraz.

Pierro

The wines of Pierro are the culmination of passion, innovation, location, climate and time. Wherever our wines are enjoyed around the world today they invariably impart a tangible trace of their idyllic place of origin – warm southern climes, ancient soils, healthful vines and years of skilled hands-on viticulture and winemaking.

During his first vintage in Margaret River in 1979, Mike Peterkin introduced two wine styles which have become the mainstay of winemaking in the district: the first Australian semillon sauvignon blanc blend and the first to introduce a touch of cabernet franc and malbec to wines. Just as Pierro personifies life’s intricacies and passions, Pierro wine is a wonderfully complex balance of sensual and fascinating elements. In a world where mediocrity can become a pervasive norm, the wines of Pierro are a shining exception. It is no secret that care, and attention to detail and quality are the primary objectives at Pierro.

Pizzini

Establishing Pizzini Wines in 1994, Fred and Katrina Pizzini have built the brand based on their passion for family and a strong commitment to their Italian heritage, hard work and determination. These same virtues run through the veins of their children who all work within the business. Each of the Sangiovese vineyard sites has been evaluated based on consistency in fruit quality, fruit characteristics and resultant wine produced off of each site. The 2017 Pietra Rossa marks Pizzini’s 21st Sangiovese release.

Port Phillip Estate

Port Phillip Estate lies on a spectacular site on the picturesque Mornington Peninsula. Established in 1987, situated in Red Hill, the vineyard is planted on deep red loam soils of volcanic origin. Wines are entirely estate grown and produced and strongly reflect the vineyard site attributes. The majority of the forty hectare site is planted to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a small block of Pinot Gris. Port Phillip is very much a specialist in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay production. The best parcels of fruit from each vineyard block are reserved for the Single Vineyard wines.

The home of Port Phillip Estate wines is an architectural landmark,and one of the most exciting wine destinations in Australia.

Biological farming principles are employed in the vineyard: use of compost teas, estate-produced compost, mulch and other natural soil and plant conditioners. The vineyard is hand-pruned, shoot thinned, shoot positioned and crop thinned, and all fruit is hand picked. Their winemaking philosophy is to best preserve the inherent characteristics present in the fruit while making site-expressive wines of elegance, complexity and structure.

Reschke

Coonawarra Wines has now purchased Reschke Wines from the Reschke family. CW has maintained ownership of the what was the Reschke families key vineyards and will continue to make wines from the original Reschke family vines. They are a modern, efficient winery, capable of crafting unique parcels of high quality wine. Built in 2001, the winery is family owned is operated by a dedicated and experienced team. The winery is supported by 340 hectares of vineyards, primarily consisting of premium red wine grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

Riversdale Estate

The Estate family are the sixth generation to work and contribute to agriculture and three generations have farmed the property. The Estate includes cropping, sheep, and the largest privately owned vineyard in the Coal River Valley with 40 hectares of vine plantation. The gentle undulating land to the waterfront provides a unique maritime influence, microclimate and an ideal environment for the large vineyard. These characeristics contribute to the growing and making of award-winning wine.

Rob Dolan

‘Real people, real wine, real character’ is the philosophy behind Rob Dolan. After twenty-five years finessing his craft for some of Australia’s most respected wine labels, 2010 marked a significant milestone in Rob’s career as he created his own label. Winemaker Rob Dolan has been making wine in the Yarra Valley for over 20 years. He has an outstanding winemaking record and has played a pivotal role in the evolution of the Yarra Valley.

Round Two

THIS IS ROUND TWO. GET IN THE RING.

A range of generously flavoured and affordable Barossa Valley wines courtesy of a partnership between two good mates Kym Teusner and Warwick Murray.

Ruggeri

Today, he is joined by his two sons, one who works with him in the vineyards and cellar, while the other takes the lead in marketing and sales. In addition to making a stunning AC Chablis, the Lavantureux family also bottles a mouth-watering Petit Chablis which, depending on the vintage, can easily rival their more highly pedigreed bottlings and as such provides outstanding value for money.

San Salvatore 1988

San Salvatore 1988 was founded in the heart of the Cilento National Park, an ancient land, rich in history and tradition, never touched by intensive agriculture . The winery is located in the same area where the Ancient Greeks began the colonization of Magna Grecia and where for the first time brought Aglianico, Fiano and Greco grapes. San Salvatore has been certified organic by the European Union and adopts exclusively biological processes and biodynamic preparations. They own 110 hectares, 23.5 with vineyards, the rest for olive groves, orchards, vegetable gardens and woodland.

Santa Sofia

“I grew up surrounded by vines and one of my first words was an attempt at tractor. I was hooked and I loved being involved in all the aspects of winemaking from the vineyards to the bottle. While it can be really hypnotic driving up and down the rows of the vineyard, a lot of winemaking is really loud. The harvesters, the crusher and the presses at the winery and the trucks and tractors coming and going – it can be very noisy.” – Charlie O’Brien

Savaterre

Nestled in the mountains of northeastern Victoria, just outside the picturesque town of Beechworth, lays the Savaterre vineyard. The mild summer days, cool climate elevation combined with the rolling foothills of the Victorian Alps was the magic terroir combination sought by winemaker Keppell Smith. Intensely focused on the creation of outstanding, individualistic wines far removed from the mainstream , Smith looks more to the wines, winemaking and viticulture of the Old World as his inspiration. “My mother gave me some sound advice when I was young – ” Be patient!” Being patient translates now to minimal intervention in the winemaking process. Minimal intervention and long, slow elevage in cool dark cellars are the cornerstones of our winemaking philosophy.” – Keppel Smith

Schild Estate

Schild Estate Wines are created with an authenticity and passion that comes from generations of a family who have made their home in the Southern Barossa.

Spread across 11 unique sites we take advantage of their diversity to produce a range of premium fruit. Having such an intimate knowledge and understanding of these sites allows our winemaking andvineyard teams to achieve anabsolute synergy from vineyard to winery to wine.

Serengale

Serengale is a small 6.5 hectare vineyard located in the famous granite hills of Beechworth Victoria. Established in 1999 by Gayle Taylor and Serena Abbinga the partnership concentrated on establishing a premium vineyard whilst honing their skills as vignerons believing that great wines originate from a great vineyard.

Over the years Serengale has produced a small volume of wine for local restaurants and outlets as well as supplying high quality grapes to a number of notable wineries such as Giaconda and Savaterre. It is time for Serengale to showcase the now mature vineyard. Using wild yeast, gentle handling and low intervention wine making techniques, Gayle focuses on expressing the season, the variety and the select areas of the vineyard, to make hand crafted wines that are a reflection of place.

Sidewood Estate

Sidewood is a privately owned five-star Halliday Wine Companion accredited winery nestled in the cool climate region of the Adelaide Hills, the heart of Australian premium wine. Owners and Vignerons Owen and Cassandra Inglis, who have owned the estate since 2004, aim to create stylish, elegant wines with a focus on high quality from estate grown fruit. Sidewood Estate has not only cemented itself as one of the most consistent quality producers of wine in the country, but one of only nine Australian wine brands with 12 wines achieving 95 Points or above in the 2019 Halliday Wine Companion.

Silent Noise

“I grew up surrounded by vines and one of my first words was an attempt at tractor. I was hooked and I loved being involved in all the aspects of winemaking from the vineyards to the bottle. While it can be really hypnotic driving up and down the rows of the vineyard, a lot of winemaking is really loud. The harvesters, the crusher and the presses at the winery and the trucks and tractors coming and going – it can be very noisy.” – Charlie O’Brien

Smallfry

We both grew up on vineyards and after following various paths eventually it was to vineyards we returned. We met at Uni studying Viticulture, our eyes met over a petri dish swarming with saccharomyces, the rest is history. We planted our first vineyard of Riesling, shiraz and cabernet at Eden Valley in 1996, then in 2007 purchased the historical Shliebs Block at Vinevale. The Shliebs block is home to over 16 varieties with significant plantings of old vine Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, Semillon and Pedro Ximenes. There were also a few rows of Cinsault, red Semillon and Trousseau which we have since propagated to increase production of these treasures. Both vineyards are certified organic biodynamic since 2014.

Smokin’ Barrels

Smokin’ Barrels is a range of generously flavoured single vineyard wines from a site nestled in the Angaston foothills of the Barossa Valley. The vineyard is was planted throughout the 1990s and purchased by viticulturalist, Warwick Murray and Winemaker, Kym Teusner in 2008 to supply this project.

Coarse sand over deep red clay being the perfect soil for these rich and distinct wines. Sustainable management practices are at the forefront of running this vineyard with self seeding native grasses populating the mid rows and runoff water captured from the roofs and carparks of a nearby industrial precinct used for irrigation. Honest and affordable, these are wines that are certain to impress at the price.

Tenuta Maccan

Tenuta Maccan is a historical winery, nestled between the sea and Hills of Friuli that represents one of the reference producers in the territory known as Grave del Friuli. Viticultural experimentation, cutting edge technology and the essence of rich regional wine culture are balanced to create a selection of wines that invigorate and surprise with playful finesse. Today the company can be considered a new generation winery not only from a technological point of view but also as regards its innovative way of interpreting wine, where tradition finds the right combination with modernity and design elegance.

Tenuta Ulisse

Founded in 2006, Tenuta Ulisse is today the symbolic mark of the enological renaissance in Abruzzo. Tenuta Ulisse presents itself as a modern, dynamic winery which values into a new era where it blends modern winemaking technology and the energetic lifestyle of contemporary life expressing the potential and character of the native grapes of Abruzzo. They have developed their own style of operation, and this is reflected in their approach to wine making. The wines are the result of the passion and experience of Antonio and Luigi Ulisse, two brothers dedicated to expressing the potential and character of the region’s wines. Each glass from Tenuta Ulisse’s wine is a journey, an experience that amazes a vision.

Teusner

The Teusner story begins in 2001 when Kym overheard Steve Riebke (a 5th generation grape grower) and his brother Leon lamenting the fact that their 90 year old Grenache vineyard was due for destruction. A plan was hatched, some money scratched together a vineyard was saved and a winery was born with the first release of Teusner Joshua in 2002.

Today, Teusner still focuses on the ancient vines which make the Barossa so unique. Vineyards up to 130 years of age are sourced from across the Barossa, taking full advantage of the diverse range of terroirs the Barossa has to offer. Since the first vintage in 2002, the philosophy at Teusner has remained the same …..source old vine fruit from some of the Barossa’s finest vineyards, gentle handling in the cellar and judicious old oak use to let the fruit speak of its origins and a finished wine that is expressive, authentic and affordable wines that we want to drink at home with our family and friends…. tenets that will never change.

Three Dark Horses

Three Dark Horses produced their first vintage in 2009 using Shiraz and Romano Grenache from McLaren Vale and Touriga Nacionale from Langhorne Creek. The Shiraz and Grenache were matured in French and American oak for 18 months before blending with soft, berry flavoured unoaked Touriga. The result was a unique blend of dark cherries and raspberries with hints of dried spices and herbs, this is their SGT which they still produce today. All this was done by hand, using a hand press, a borrowed crusher and lots and lots of hard work.

Three Dark Horses is the new project for former Coriole winemaker Matt Broomhead. When the opportunity arose in 2009 to make wine from Bruno Romano’s old vineyard in the Seaview sub region of McLaren Vale- Matt teamed up with his father Alan and grandfather Frank and the Three Dark Horses were born. Today Matt and Alan run this small label with Matt’s 90-year-old grandfather Frank a vintage regular. Their focus is on producing small batch, hand made, and affordable wines of character.

Tim Adams

Following an apprenticeship under the guidance of Mick Knappstein (Mr Mick) and winemaking positions at Leasingham and Quelltaler, Tim Adams and his wife Pam Goldsack established Tim Adams Wines in 1986. Passionate about the Clare Valley, Tim and Pam source fruit from their own vineyards and those of excellent local growers from all areas of the valley. Led by the iconic Aberfeldy Shiraz, Tim Adams Wines focus their attention on selecting Clare Valley grapes, for their authentic varietal and regional characters. These wines can be enjoyed in their youth for their vibrant fruit and fresh flavours, or be cellared for five to 15 years, depending on the wine.

Torzi Matthews

Torzi Matthews is a food and winemaking partnership between Domenic Torzi and Tracy Matthews. Both share a passion and firm conviction of appreciating the value of heritage in the crafting of their wines and olive produce. In 1996 they stumbled across a small, frost-pocketed hollow in the beautiful Mt McKenzie, Eden Valley and fell in love with the area for its remoteness and its diverse thin soils. The rationale was quite simple: this land would produce low yields of fruit which in turn would translate into flavoursome European style wines – the style of wines needed to match their Mediterranean food.

Trait Wines

Trait Wines is a modern take on the traditional. It is rogue only in its convictions and bold belief in the vineyard. In all other aspects it respects the old world of wine, the old guard of wine, and aspires to tread the same hallowed halls.

The fruit for Trait Wines is sourced from a 2.7 hectare vineyard mere kilometres from Margaret River’s town centre in the south west corner of Western Australia. Planted in 1988, the site is sloping and the vines close-planted, meaning that the aid and intervention of machinery is impossible. Everything requires the touch of hands. Due to the age of the vines, production is not vigorous, hence the quality of the fruit is concentrated and the yields are low. The property is a white wine vineyard, planted with Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.

Utopos

Located on the cusp of Marananga and Greenock, the establishment of Utopos Vineyard began in 1974 on a bed of lean and depleted stoney soils that significantly limits yield. This outstanding geology allows us to grow cracking concentrated yet balanced grapes on these shallow, ancient soils – fruit that was traditionally sent to the corporate end of town, where the small crop of coveted fruit oft found its way into their icon wines. A hallmark of the Utopos Vineyard on Roennfeldt Road is the pitch perfect acid/ tannin balance we can achieve in fully ripened fruit. This provides for delicious, highly approachable wines in their youth, whilst enabling them to develop over a 10-15 year period, and maybe more.

Planted to Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Mataro, we’re focusing on those varietals the Barossa Valley grows best and is widely renowned for. The Utopos wines are distinctly Barossan with the depth and concentration that you expect from Marananga and Greenock but have that site driven savoury balance that I always long for.

We have named the vineyard UTOPOS, the root word of utopia. Perhaps it means Eutopos – a good and perfect place. I figure that this is what we are all often chasing – the dream of another world far removed from the day to day grind. Or perhaps it means Outopos – a place that cannot be, one that is just out of reach. Often what people find at the end of their journey in this game. I’m pretty confident that we’ve found Eutopos not Outopos… In keeping with our ideals, our range of wines is succinct and produced solely from fruit grown on our Utopos Vineyard.

Val D’Oca

Val D’Oca is located in a beautiful setting amid rolling hills between Asolo and Conegliano at the foot of the Treviso pre-Alps. The central area for the production of Prosecco wine. Val D’Oca has been pursuing the goal of producing quality wines with the aim of promoting the produce of its members, fostering awareness of the investments made in terms of money and human effort, and communicating its upgrade programme. This all in order to ensure that consumers fully realise that all production stages, from grape growing to bottling of wine are performed with care and skill. Currently, Val D’Oca wines are exported to 33 countries worldwide.

Viberti Giovanni

The Viberti winery was founded in the early 1900s, when Antonio Viberti purchased an Inn in the Vergne district of Barolo, known as “Al Buon Padre”, along with an adjoining farm that produced the wine served in the trattoria. At that time, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes were the three varieties used by Antonio to produce his wines, which he sold exclusively in the restaurant. In 1967, Antonio’s son Giovanni became owner of the business, supported by his wife Maria. Maria’s personable nature with the restaurant clientele, has been fundamental in the growth of the winery and the restaurant. The ‘70s saw the farm in constant expansion, with historic vineyards and a modern cellar, capable of bringing out the best in the grapes within the commune of Barolo. Today at Viberti Giovanni, Claudio, the youngest son, represents the third generation to run the family business. Claudio is directly committed to the wine making process using his know-how, which has been passed down through the generations.

Vickery Wines

Vickery Wines is the culmination of John Vickery’s half-century of winemaking experience, partnered alongside family friend and talented winemaker Phil Lehmann. Together they create Rieslings that showcase John’s extensive expertise with the most noble of white wine varieties.

It begins in the regions where John made his mark. Eden Valley in the Barossa and Watervale in the Clare Valley. It goes further into the sub-districts of these regions that John knows intimately, and partnering with growers who have the right vineyards in the right locations to produce the best possible fruit. Once fruit is picked at optimum ripeness, Phil and John employ the winemaking techniques that he has refined and perfected over time, to craft Rieslings that carry his signature style and fastidious quality standards.

The Vickery label is in effect, a time capsule for John’s wealth of winemaking knowledge. It allows his experience and winemaking techniques to be used without compromise, and then passed on to current and future generations of Riesling winemakers.

Vigna Cantina

Domenic Torzi is fifth generation Calabrian – Abruzzese stock so Vigna Cantina is a celebration of his heritage and affection for European varietals. Mainly Italian grape varieties are crafted from single vineyard sites that show the best varietal expressions. The wines are truly wonderful in their aromatics and fresh lively fruit flavours that are the pinnacle of Mediterranean food pairing.

Vigna Sancol

A little more than an hour from Venice in the northern part of Treviso lies a fascinating territory of steep slopes alternating with rolling hills, all embroidered by a network of vines. Amongst this idyllic landscape is Vigna Sancol, founded by Luigi Flisi and Cesare De Stefani in 2005. Hand pruned and hand harvested, the Prosecco Superiore di Vigna Sancòl, is recognised for its delicate and refined flavours and fragrances that transmit a maximum expression of the territory from which it comes.

Vignoble Anne Collard

Anne Collard, who runs the Château Mourgues du Grès with her husband Francois, always wanted to have vines in the Côtes du Rhône. In 2019, she found a great site just six kilometers north of Mourgues du Grès that was everything she was looking for. She purchased 30 hectares in Comps, a Côtes du Rhône Villages, which is in the confluence of the Rhône River, on a north-facing hillside. They mostly have Grenache, along with Mourvèdre and Carignan. Comps is the southernmost village in the Côtes du Rhône appellation and it’s a particularly windy area, convenient for organic agriculture. The soil is very rocky, with steep slopes. Anne’s son manages the vineyards, and they began immediately to convert to organic and biodynamic farming. The wines are made at Mourgues du Grès, in a new part of the cellar, in new tanks. They are not using any sulfites during winemaking or aging, and the fermentations start spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The wines are made in concrete vats that are not epoxy lined and the wines stay in the same cement tank until they are bottled, generally after about eight to twelve months of aging. They are making two cuvées, a Côtes du Rhône and a Côtes du Rhône “Aube” that is made with the oldest vines, fifty years-old average. 2020 was an excellent vintage and the first to be released. Total production is about 12,500 cases. The wines are distinctly elegant, juicy, and mineral with freshness.

Vignobles Bodillard

Our vineyard holds much history and tells the story of our family’s successive generations. For many years, each of our ancestors has weighed in the development of the Domain as we know it today.
Alexandrine and Jean, Marie-Louise and Auguste, Madeleine and Roger, Michèle and André, each generation has worked the grapevines in Morgon to extract the finest wine. Our family stays committed to its vines and has managed to perpetuate its domain, even through hard times such as wars and economic turmoil. Nowadays, the latest generation, Renaud, carries on the preservation of the vineyard and contributes to the domain’s sustainability.

Through the years, the domain has evolved. It has grown, and it has been scaled down; it has been divided and it has been reunited.

Nowadays, it is nearly identical to what it was at first as our grand grand parents vines are still the domain’s property.

Pursuing its development, the domain has grown, bringing not only new Beaujolais vintages but also new flavours. Some of our vine plots stretch to the Burgundy region enabling us to enrich our range with the Saint-Veran.

Led by our passion and our love for the grapevines, we continue to carry on the production of novel wines which we hope, will surprise and seduce you.
Well-liked and well-known, our range of wines is constantly expanding and is being sold more and more around the world.

Villa Fresco

The Fresco range of wines are fresh, elegant, made to the Italian taste and dressed the Italian way. The wines of Villa Fresco are carefully blended to create the best drinking wine possible.

Vocoret Et Fils

The Vocoret family is one of the oldest families in Chablis, with all generations of the family having been born in the heart of the old village of Chablis. Founded by Edouard Vocoret in 1870, Domaine Vocoret et Fils, a family business for four generations, has always strived to perpetuate and develop the vineyard with, as the primary objective, respect for the terroir and constant improvement. Wine making and production has remained traditional with the use of large wooden foudres during ageing, while bottling is carried out exclusively at the property.

Wood Park / Wild’s Gully

Environmental scientist John Stokes planted his Wood Park vineyard in the foothills of the Victorian Alps in 1989. Driven by a passion for the environment John has reinvigorated Wood Park through a mix of re-forestation, erosion control and improved biodiversity. The vineyard is managed with a commitment to minimal chemical use. John’s wine making is a mix of traditional and modern techniques including plenty of hand plunging in open fermenters and use of wild yeasts.
