Following a visit to France where he studied the ancient pastoral practices of breeding the world's best chickens, Adam Marks gained the inspiration to create great Australian wines in the very same manner, adopting an artisanal approach to production, employing traditional, age old methods. Coq Noir is the flagship Shiraz by one of Victoria's most adroit, small batch producers. An opulent effort vinified from parcels of the most intense fruit, bottled without fining or filtration, which may deposit a harmless sediment, decanting is a must.

$5999each $719DOZEN EACH DOZEN Shiraz is picked from two blocks of a distinguished old Heathcote vineyard. Gently crushed fruit and a parcel of whole bunches are treated to a wild, indigenous yeast vinification in traditional open fermenters. A course of hand plunges and pumpovers extract deep colour and optimal tannins, followed by transfer to a luxuriously high proportion of new Francois Freres French oak hogsheads. Upon completion of malolactic, the wine is gravity fed to barrel for a year's maturation and minimal filtration.

Intense, vibrant inky crimson. A complex array of black fruit aromas, spices and cloves, plums, oak and char vanillan spice. The palate is tightly packed full of black fruit, oak is beautifully integrated, providing structure and adding power, balance and savoury richness. The best of Bendigo should always be decanted and served alongside the freshest, local farm ingredients.

An exhilarating Cabernet style, its bright cherry nose precedes a refined bramble palate, laden with fresh and vibrant berry flavours, perfect for succulent lamb recipes, a traditional rillettes of duck or artfully assembled, croute et aspic terrine.

The philosophy at Bress is that good fruit should be treated with respect, to let the wine make itself on its own time in its own way, with a minimal of intervention.

A fruit filled Chablis style, redolent of white peach, grapefruits and nectarine, exquiste balance throughout, an intensely savoury mid palate richness.
