It's International Mourvèdre Day.

Earthy. Rich. Generous. Not a variety everyone knows, but once you do, you keep coming back.

Our 2022 Bendigo Mourvèdre is almost sold out. Order yours at subrosawine.com/subrosa-2022-mourvedre/

Our 2025 vintage is still in barrel, the first since 2022. Worth the wait.

Cellar Release: SubRosa 2015 Pyrenees Nebbiolo, available at Grampians Grape Escape and subrosawine.com. Very limited availability.

James Halliday. 95 points.
From the Malakoff Estate, matured for 12 months in used French barriques. Well, well, it's like jumping into the surf thinking it's going to be very cold, only to find it's perfect. Coming to the end of the day's tasting, nebbiolo tannins can fill the mouth with fast-drying cement. This is a high quality wine by any standards, complete with violets on the bouquet, sumptuous dark fruits and millimetre perfect tannins.

Australian Chardonnay might be having its moment, but we think Viognier deserves your attention.

Curious? Our Ultimate Guide to Australian Viognier is a good place to start.

Looking for a lamb recipe this Easter? Matt Dempsey from Conlan's Wine Store in Port Fairy shared this with us and it's our absolute favourite.

Perfect with our new release 2020 Pyrenees Nebbiolo or our cool climate 2021 Grampians Shiraz!

Easter is a time for family, hunting for chocolate eggs in the bush, and, of course, sharing great food. One dish that truely shines this season is lamb; tender, flavourful and perfect for the whole family, especially when roasted low and slow with vegetables soaking up all the goodness in the same....

Three years.

That’s how long we’ve been waiting to make Viognier again.

Vintage 2024 — heatwave.
Vintage 2025 — didn’t ripen.
Vintage 2026 — looking promising…

We only make Viognier when the fruit reaches the standard Adam knows it can achieve. No compromises. No “good enough”.

A couple more weeks of cool-climate weather is all we need to bring these grapes home and craft our first Viognier in three years.

Attention to detail.
Patience.
Trust in the vineyard.

🤞

We love Nebbiolo.

It’s not easy to grow, and it’s certainly not easy to make. But when Adam gets his hands on beautiful fruit, something special happens — and you get to experience it in your glass.

“Capable of expressing the purest essence of site, vintage and producer style, Nebbiolo is without question one of the world’s elite red grapes…”
— Antonio Galloni, Vinous

From the hills of Piedmont to the Pyrenees, Nebbiolo rewards patience, precision and belief. We’re here for all of it.

Happy International Nebbiolo Day 🍷

It’s International Nebbiolo Day — Tuesday 3 March 🍷

Nebbiolo is a favourite in our house. It’s the wine we reach for often. Structured yet generous, savoury yet vibrant, with that beautiful tension that makes it so food-friendly.

We’ll be opening a bottle alongside homemade pizza.

Open That Bottle Night is this Saturday, 28 February 2026. 🍷

A gentle reminder to pull a special bottle from the cellar, think about what you’ll cook, and who you’ll share it with.

Started in 2000 by two New York Times wine writers, the night was created to encourage us to finally open that bottle we’ve been saving.

We’ll be opening our 2017 Monseigneur Cabernet and enjoying it with grilled steak. 🍷🥩

Life’s too short to wait for the “perfect” occasion.

What are you opening? We’d love to know.

As Adam steps into vintage #42, he still finds time for the most important lessons…at home.

From teaching our boys to kick a footy, bowl a cricket ball, make dinner, or even know when a grape is ready to pick, he shows them every day what it means to care, focus, and enjoy the moment.

On the eve of vintage 2026, we raise a glass to Adam — an extraordinary winemaker and an incredible dad. 🍷❤️
