Bellarmine are expert at Riesling and famously produce three different interpretations, each with its own story and appeal. One of very few vineyards in Pemberton to grow Riesling, no doubt indulging the German ancestry of proprietors Dr Willi and Gudrun Schumacher. Grapes are exclusively sourced from the estate property, planted by hand in 2000, vines are trained to receive maximum exposure from sunshine throughout the growing season.

$2399each $287DOZEN EACH DOZEN Vineyard soils are red gravel laterite and vines are trained to vertical shoot positioning. Grapes are harvested in the cool of the night at optimum flavour levels. Vinified from the first free run juices taken after the initial crush and from the light pressing of skins. The latter component contributes greater depth of ripe flavours which suit the slightly sweeter style. Vinified in fermenters at cool temperatures, oak is avoided and the natural expression of fruit is optimised. A sudden chill to arrest ferments is timed when there's a single baume of sugar remaining. This stops the yeast cells and achieves a slightly sweeter palate so very appealing to enthusiasts of complex and engaging Riesling wines.

Pale straw hue. White flowers, limes and spice on the bouquet, aromatic and crisp, a fully elegant Riesling wine. A clean, perfectly balanced palate, full of citrus and floral flavours supported by minerality, splendid length of flavour before a crisp, clean finish. Enjoy this captivating style alongside moreton bay bugs or WA marron, dressed in wine and mornay sauce.

Bellingham's closely coddled block at Main Ridge yields a quality of Chardonnay which articulates the expression of a very special site. Hand picked fruit is whole bunch pressed and barrel fermented in a mix of new and seasoned French oak, followed by a traditional regimen of lees stirring and shrewd course of partial malolactic. The judiciousness of restrained oak encourages delicate white peach and subtle florals to emerge, a light toastyness and vanilla pod characters in support of juicy stone fruits, finish seamlessly on a length of perfectly pitched citrus acid.

After founding Mornington's eminent Moorooduc Estate and contract winemaking for Mornington's leading brands, Richard McIntyre established a small family operated vineyard, with a view to producing limited yields of the most exquisite small batch wines. A single estate parcel of dry grown Pinot Gris at Main Ridge is hand picked and fastidiously sorted before being treated to a minimalist vinification. The inclusion of a dash Gewurztraminer infuses wonderfully delicate perfumes, candied pear and autumnal spice, a mouth filling style of juicy, creamy ripeness.

The small but dedicated team at Bellvale take inspiration from the big boned Chardonnays of Cote de Beaune, drawing fruit off five closely managed hectares on the temperate, maritime windswept pasteurs of Gippsland south. Hand picking and sorting are a matter of course, lees exposure, barrel ferments and traditional Burgundian regimens add palate weight and flesh. A crisp, mineral style, defined by its penetrating acid line and evocative of Chablis, its fresh cut orchard fruit character and juicy apple zip are supported by a wafer of creamily spiced oak.

There are a mere five hectares Chardonnay at Bellvale, planted to a number of clones for opulence and complexity. Burgundian techniques of viticulture are the order of day, it is after all Gippsland, vine density is high and crop load is duly limited for harvests of the most superior quality. Time spent working vintages along the Cote d'Or translates into a refined, textural cool climate Chardonnay that's mineral and crisp, due to higher acidity, tightly structured, with a well defined balance between fruit, secondary evolved characters and seamlessly integrated oak.
