Winter Wine School wrapped up last week, but it’s not over yet. We’re planning a spring wine school series soon, so keep an eye on our socials to find out when tickets open up. Also if you’re looking for a team building or corporate event with a difference, or a special experience for friends, we can organise private group sessions with Jay at Glou! Minimum of 20 people required- but a great way to make memories together!

We’re excited to be the first to pour this amazing Chardonnay in-Keg. e’Stellar Estate is a new winery that brings together two of the Yarra Valley’s very iconic vineyards- the former Dixon’s Creek Estate and Mandala Vineyards (formerly Henkell). Both were planted in the 1980’s, and have produced gold-medal winning wines. It’s one of the hardest sites to farm because it runs from the floodplains of Dixons Creek up into steep, rocky hills. this abrupt shift in elevation that gives north, south, east, and west-facing blocks within the one estate.

Different varieties have been matched to the soils and orientation of each block. Chardonnay is grown on the flats, where the fertile alluvial soils and protection from the elements suit its temperament. The wines are made by Martin Siebert- who has worked in France and across some iconic Yarra Valley vineyards like Yarra Yering and Tokar Estate. We have them coming in on the 29th to pour some wines, so make sure you lock in Saturday for a tasting at Glou!

Meet Peter Part II.

Southern Italian wines, organically farmed in one of the country’s most challenging flood-irrigated hot regions in the Riverina, NSW, better known for bulk mass market wines than premium small growers. ⁠

Peter has planted varieties from the southern half of Italy, where his grandparents come from (Abruzzo). He grows the same varieties his grandfather made, and Via Pola is the name of the street his grandfather grew up on. ⁠We can’t wait to order double the amount next vintage!

Meet Peter.

We were very excited to have his first Pecorino in keg exclusively at Glou, and that we are down to almost the last keg, so to be quick if you want to try it. We met Peter at the Young Gun of Wine trade tasting a few months ago, and we were wildly impressed with his wines- so much so we ordered over 100L of his Pecorino!

He comes from a family of Italian immigrant grape growers – his grandparents, Anna and Pietro Valeri, immigrated and set up a vineyard in the 1950s, and it’s in good hands. Peter studied wine science and viticulture at Charles Sturt University, and has worked at some of the larger producers in the Riverina as well as vintages in Canada and Romania.
