Parcels of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourverdre are hand selected, carefully hand picked and brought to the Langmeil Barossa wineworks. Fruit is placed into a receival bin and gently worked through to the crusher. A number of whole berries are destined for the ferment, which ensures great complexity while retaining sweet fruit characters. Juice are pumped over skins twice daily to extract maximum colour. After a prolonged time on skins the wine is drained, skins are removed by spade into a basket press where they are gently pressed and returned as a component to the evolving wine. Three Gardens is aged a year under a selection of mostly prior use French and American oak barrels. Alcohol 14.5%
 
Medium to deep crimson red. Lifted, fresh and bright fruits leap out of the glass, dark cherries, turkish delight and white pepper dominate the bouquet. Bright and juicy fruit flavours coat the palate, well balanced by peppery plum and raspberry characters under a minaret of sweet spice. Medium bodied structure and great complexity over lovely silky tannins which flow through to the lengthy, savoury finish.

Cotes Du Rhone
Available in cartons of six
Pigeoulet is the vineyard delineation where the illustrious Vieux Telegraphe of Chateauneuf-du-Pape maintain their offices and manage the estate cellars.

A further plot to the south of the village at Châteauneuf-du-Pape, on the east bank of the Rhône, is planted mainly to forty year old Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault vines, and amounts to a third of the source for the complex cépage of Le Pigeoulet.

Le Pigeoulet is a Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, the house wine at Les Vignobles Brunier. Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault are sourced from sandy clay alluvium soils in the proximity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The balance of fruit is sourced from the Cotes du Ventoux, on the lower southwest facing foothills of Mont Ventoux in the municipality of Caromb. Vaucluse is the link between these two Pigeoulet terroirs. Grapes are picked by hand and destemmed, followed by twelve to fifteen days vinification in temperature controlled concrete vat, a pneumatic pressing and systematic malolactic fermentation. Aged in vats for six months then transferred to large oak foudres for a further six months maturation. Bottled after a slight filtration.
 
Bright scarlet colour. Tender, fresh and fruity in character, violet and cherry nose over supple spice and licorice scents, a hint of vanilla, cocoa and earth.

Clean and well integrated, offering instant pleasure for the everyday Aussie drinker who likes a bit of French.
Lucinda Syrah Rose
Gippsland
Available by the dozen
Syrah is a style of wine that Lucinda does exceedingly well, a few precious parcels of the excruciatingly limited harvest are set aside for a blushing pink wine that's garrulous of a superior site and auspicious climes. No two vintages are ever the same, each year brings its own complexities, Lucinda take a view that Syrah Rosé must not only be pretty to see and moreish to taste, it should express the influence of season and resonance of soil. Pepper, currants and musk, her rakish rose hues are a reflection of succulent cherry ripeness, savoury tannin crispness and divine, pink jelly jube.

Maxwell is an estate with a history and a global reach which belies it's modest size. One notable block of vine originates from stock imported to South Australia by John Reynell over 150 years ago. Maxwell's cuttings were taken directly from the original Reynella vineyard, planted over three decades ago into the shallow topsoil over solid limestone soils on the crest of the estate. The property makes the most of an early ripening, even in extreme weather conditions, grapes are harvested with generous flavours, fine tannins and deep colours. Little Demon is a mostly Shiraz wine, seamless with Grenache and Mourverdre, matured eighteen months in a selection of seasoned French oak hogsheads.
 
Dark red purple hue. Floral bouquet abundant with black cherry and plum fruits over hints of aniseed, black olive and tar. Dark berry fruits and cherry persist on the palate with hints of black pepper and long savoury tannins. The Little Demon exhibits great weight of fruit, superb length and remarkable balance. Made to enjoy upon release, a good match with risottos, carpetbag and farced vegetables.

Mimi's Cabernet vines were planted in 1990, the Syrah in 1994, all are cane pruned and shoot thinned to sixteen bunches, the younger Nebbiolo plantings are trimmed to six bunches each. Grapes are hand picked into 8kg buckets and transported to the winery. Fruit is destemmed, crushed and tipped into a mix of open and closed fermenters. The wines are naturally vinified at warmer temperatures of 25C to 30C and remain on skins over the course of a fortnight for optimal extraction. Mimi is pressed, settled overnight and gravity filled to a selection of seasoned and new oak casks where she gracefully reposes at 16C for over a year. Components are then gravity racked from cask and assembled.
 
Bright red, garnet edge. Juicy Cabernet nose with lovely savoury, black cherry notes. Very medium bodied with structure and acidity. Richly textured, long, rustic and fine with good tannin. The Syrah and Nebbiolo are quite gentle on the Cabernet, so there is a lovely little leafy note to the blend and a touch of stylish Italianate bitterness.

Vines are planted to auspicious stony gravels with light silt phases. Canopies are shoot thinned throughout the season, all plantings are vertical shoot positioned and leaves are regularly plucked around the bunches of fruit to encourage full ripeness of flavour. The harvest is crushed to fermenter and inoculated with yeast for two days of maceration, pumped over daily for a week at temperatures peaking to 30 C. Upon completion, a further post ferment maceration of up to twenty days extracts deep flavour and a judicious measure of ripe tannins. A component is filled to seasoned oak to soften the palate and introduce complexity.
