GUM Chardonnay
Chardonnay, Cathedral Range
2022

Hand-harvested and firmly pressed as whole bunches. This chardonnay was fermented in new Stockinger puncheon and stainless steel. Pale with green edges, this chardonnay offers glass-filling aromas of crushed rock, struck match, lime and grapefruit zest, jasmine and spice.

Flavours carry through to a dense and powerful palate with savoury complexity and a finely detailed acid line.

"It’s all minerals and tart citrus, green apple and pink grapefruit with the faintest almond savouriness under it all. It feels ultimately very refreshing, tingly and tart, zest and ultra pure overall. Crisp and clean, lean and bright. A mouth-watering chardonnay of delicacy and sophistication. I like it a lot.”

GUM ‘A Field’
Viognier, Heathcote
2023

2023 GUM ‘A Field’ Viognier, Heathcote, Victoria.
Viognier grown on the pre-Cambrian era soils of Heathcote, Victoria.

Organically grown viognier from Toolleen was pressed firmly as whole clusters. The juice was fermented and aged in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned Stockinger puncheon. An expressive wine - Earl Grey tea, white flower potpourri and herbal inflections lead to fuzzy white peach and tangerine zest.  

I am deeply fond of the gastronomic white wines of the Rhone valley and encourage you to enjoy this wine with food.


‘It’s a firm and tense viognier, understated in a way, light in its viognier credentials but has good textural appeal, a sluice of fine, minerally lift and ebullient perfume that hauls in sweeet stone fruit, citrus blossom and ripe citrus fruit to anchor us into the variety. A slip and slide in the palate, a cool, briny finish in tow, between, levity and a sense of purity. A gentle wine. A moreish wine. It’s good.’

GUM ‘GAZ’
Gamay, Harcourt
2024

From the sandy, granitic slopes of Mt. Alexander - these organically grown 50 year old vines were grafted to gamay over the last decade.

Due to the immaculate quality of this fruit - 100% whole bunch gamay was fermented and elevaged in stainless steel with a very small inclusion of shiraz/syrah pressings.

Fresh and energetic, this is an aerial example of the variety with floral and herbaceous aromatics. Crunchy, bright red and cool blue fruits are supported by fine lacy structure.

This fragrant and expressive wine is drinking immediately well though will also reward careful cellaring.

GUM ‘Petite Syrah’
Durif, Heathcote
2022

Hand-harvested durif was fermented as whole bunches for the first 14 days carbonically. Once pressed the wine spent nine months in a combination of three year old French burgundy barriques, from Taransaud and Rousseau cooperages.

‘Petite Syrah’ is a taut and fragrant example of this variety.Cool blue and red fruits are in abundance with high toned herbal/spice notes wrapped around fine yet firm tannins.
