Pondalowie was established with particular wines and styles in mind. Pondalowie have taken an impressive number of international awards, cementing their reputation as a leading producer, highlighting the strength of Bendigo as an elite provenance of world class Shiraz. A profound construct of Bendigo Shiraz, rich and complex with lovely integration between intense dark fruit flavours and fine, ideally suited to juicy meats, trimmed by caramelised onion and dressed in red wine jus.

$4499each $539DOZEN EACH DOZEN Dominic and Krystina Morris have spent many years working consecutive vintages in Australia and Europe. They chose the Bendigo region to plant a vineyard with varietials that they were passionate about. A highly capable winemaking team together, both bring to Pondalowie unique skills and experiences gained from their backgrounds in the wine industry. Krystina has a degree in Oenology from Adelaide University and has worked as a winemaker in the Barossa and McLaren Vale, as well as in the Alentejo and Douro regions of Portugal. When the Douro Valley winery that Dominic worked for won International Red Wine of the Year, Dominic was invited to stay on and continue as star winemaker.

Deep scarlet in colour. The addition of Viognier adds elegance and seductiveness to the aromatics and transforms the tannins to silk without compromising any of the full bodied power and rich blackberry, dark cherry fruits and complex spices of the Shiraz. Pondalowie has fantastic palate structure, balance and length, matured in older oak barrels to retain the rich fruit concentration.

The Balnarring property is one of Port Phillip's more recent acquistions, two and a half hectares of vine which yield a conspicuously pastoral style of Pinot Noir. Foliage, minerals and twig appeal in equal measure, Balnarring articulates the nuances of vineyard and countryside, it will excite true pinotphiles and appeal to enthusiasts who delight in wines which can evoke a sense of actually being there. Its herbes de Provence and succulent acid tannin structure will court a crispily skinned duckling and match her moist meat with a fine length of cherry ripeness.

$3699each $443DOZEN EACH DOZEN Balnarring was established to vines in 1997 and welcomed into the Port Phillip fold ten years later, treated to the most exacting standards of environmentally friendly viticulture, plantings are all cane pruned and vertically shoot positioned. Parcels of destemmed and whole bunch fruit are treated to a mix of traditional large format wooden foudres and fermenters for maceration and inoculation to wild indigenous yeasts. After three weeks of ferment, batches are filled to a selection of seasoned and new French oak barriques for spontaneous malolactic and a year's maturation.

Vibrant garnet colour. Highly perfumed and complex with dark cherry, plum and violet aromas over underlying savoury notes. The palate exhibits a tight and focused core. Initial ripe strawberry and raspberry characters move into the deeper territory of black cherries, liquorice and a touch of tapenade, subtle meatiness adds complexity. Fine tannins balanced with a stony acidity lead to a long, powerful finish.

Port Phillip Estate builds on the superb cool ripening conditions of Mornington to craft beautifully flavoured Burgundian styles of wine. The viticultural program of Port Phillip at Red Hill on the Mornington peninsula produces low yields of high quality Chardonnay, which best display the flavour intensity of such an exceptional site. An exquisitely balanced and structured cool climate Chardonnay, with creamy grapefruit characters up front and supple oak very much in the background.

$3499each $419DOZEN EACH DOZEN Port Phillip pursue a philosophy of reverence, respecting the land and preserving purity of fruit. Parcels of Chardonnay are hand picked after reaching optimum ripeness, off vines aged an average of twenty years, trellised to vertical shoot positioning. Fruit is whole bunch pressed directly to a selection of new and seasoned French oak barriques, where it is treated to a natural vinification without the addition of any yeasts. Once fermentations have ceased, the parcels are sulphured to prevent malolactic, retaining all the freshness of natural acidity. This intense Chardonnay wine is matured one year on sedimentery yeast lees, for finer, more elegant structure and texture.

Bright light lemon hue. A delicate nose of grapefruit pith, green apple and lime leaf, hazelnuts and cream. The palate is mineral and dry, linear and pure, with savoury acid crunch defining the varietal character, excellent intensity and length, with an underlying hint of savouriness. Grapefruit and lime fruits persist, a subtle ginger spiciness leads to a focused, chalky saline finish.

The wines of Port Phillip are about pursuing a philosophy and revering a special place, respecting the land and preserving purity of fruit. Ultimately they represent the holistic accord between those who husband the vine and the fruit of the land itself, the unspoken compact that both should give to receive. Port Phillip is a generously flavoured Sauvignon Blanc that's blessedly at its very best while young and fresh, enjoy with goat's cheese and fetta, Al fresco or succulent white meat roasts.

$2799each $335DOZEN EACH DOZEN Good wine comes from a balance of controlled yields and quality fruit. The Port Phillip Estate viticultural program produces low yield, high quality grapes which display the flavour intensity of an exceptional site. There are nine productive hectares, rapidly gaining a reputation for exceptional cool climate wines. Success is based around the attention to detail and impeccable vineyard management of maestro Sandro Mosele. Parcels of estate grown Sauvignon Blanc are whole bunch pressed and treated to a wild indigenous yeast vinification in a mix of concrete vats and French oak barriques. Components are matured sur lie for several months to enhance texture and build complexity.

Bright pale straw colour. The nose is fine with spring apple blossom, nettles, cut green leafiness and hints of red currant. In the mouth it rolls mid to light in weight, has crunchy minerality and flinty acid, fresh grassy aromas and a continuation of the red currant/ green apple and apple seed flavours. The palate minerality gives it some commonality with old world styles although the fruit is fresh and primary.
