We’re thrilled to have our Cabernet Franc featured among Australia’s top examples in the younggunofwine Deep Dive.

Our new 2024 Cabernet Franc will be released very shortly, so keep an eye on the website.

Following the success of the 2022 vintage, Pat’s love affair with Cabernet Franc continues to grow. Inspired by his first vintage in Castillon, Bordeaux, in 2014, this wine reflects years of learning from one of the variety’s true homes.

A Bordeaux-inspired Cabernet Franc from the Macedon Ranges. We can’t wait for you to taste it.

Huge thanks to Jordan Veltheer from vino.champ for the ace write up!
“Veltheer chose this wine for his top six wines from the blind tasting, describing “juicy raspberries and cranberries up front, with a reductive graphite edge that keeps things interesting. On the palate, soft lolly sweetness – think Allen’s Red Frogs – sits alongside subtle refined tannins and genuinely brilliant oak integration. There’s real length here, with enough palate weight and just a touch of acidity that suggests there’s some serious ageing potential here. This is the kind of wine that you open for someone who thinks French wine is the best, then say nothing – just smile.”

Last weekend marked our final fruit intake for 2026.

36 batches
24 wines
82 days of processing
45-ish tonnes through the winery

Not all of that fruit was ours, but every batch that came through the doors this season told a story of an incredibly challenging and character-filled vintage.

With one final press load still to come over the next few weeks, vintage is almost wrapped up.
2026 has been a season of concentration, patience and expression. We feel incredibly fortunate to have avoided some of the more extreme conditions experienced across Victoria this year, though it has undoubtedly been a truly tricky vintage for growers and winemakers alike.

A huge thank you to all of our growers for the trust you place in us and for the exceptional work that goes into your vineyards year after year. And to our family, friends and customers — thank you for the endless support, encouragement and willingness to come along for the ride.

We can’t wait to share these wines with you.

New wine release! And 95 points!

Last year we entered our very first wine show—and it certainly paid off. Our rosé was awarded a Gold Medal at the International Cool Climate Wine Show.
This latest release of our Cabernet Franc Rosé takes things to the next level. We’ve really lifted the bar with this vintage, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it.

Now available on our website—there’s even a sneaky discount code if you’re feeling tempted.

Barbaresco and Barolo! What started as a quick visit turned very subtly into ”one more night? Maybe two? A week? Maybe two?” We fell in love with Piedmont. Everything about it was warm, welcoming and delicious. Starting with a drive up the mountain of La Morra for dinner at Osteria More e Macine, to date Pat’s favourite meal in Italy.

We visited, tasted and dined at so many incredible places, it’s hard to only name a few!

Our Piedmont wine journey started with a visit to the much adored Giuseppe Cortese (4th picture) for a winery & vineyard tour, and an in-depth tasting of their current releases, celebrating their place in the Rabaja. After an amazing lunch at aromatario_neive, we made our way to meet the incredible family tirelessly working at Azienda Agricola Ronchi, led by 4th generation winemaker Giancarlo. Together with his wife (and dilligent translator) we shared wine making techniques, the intricacies of terracotta amphora, soil organics, and the ups and downs of this amazing industry across the world… and of course a few bottles of wine. (5th picture) We thank all three of these businesses for an incredible introduction to Piedmont.

Barolo Town (pictured 1 and 2) - We couldn’t go past mentioning the powerhouse gdvajra_barolo, with a detailed tour and tasting, featuring their dramatic winery featuring intricate stain glass windows, and their enviously massive underground cellar and incredibly detailed wines - everything was superb. And the infallible scarzellofede where we were welcomed like family. We had the opportunity to try some truely exceptional Barolo and Barbera in their family home, a few examples of which may have came home with us in our packs.

Our VW camper-van tour of Italy started with a quick beach holiday down to the Amalfi coast, followed by a big drive through Umbria to lungarottiwine. Here we got to explore their amazing old winery and cellars, followed by an indepth tasting of the nuances of Sangiovese from across Tuscany - From sparkling to their fantastic 10 year old DOCG.

This was the beginning of our Italian Sangiovese summertime romance.

After a quick visit to Montepulciano filled with delicious homemade pasta and wine lists the size of a short novel, we spent a couple of days in Florence. We wondered the celebrated old city, including trying out the famed wine windows.

We met some amazing people, big shout out to Ciro at levolpieluva, where we spent hours discussing and learning about local wines. He also gave us the golden ticket of restaurants and wineries to visit in Piedmont. (More on that to come!)
