Pale in colour, it shows an expressive perfume of pink grapefruit, wild strawberry, rosehip and blood orange. The palate is dry and savoury with fine acidity and gentle texture. A rosé of freshness and poise, built for both food and unbridled consumption.

Raised on lees with generous stirring, it nods to the traditional ’sur lie’ coastal whites of Nantes in France. Bright citrus, white peach and nectarine lift from the glass, with daffodil florals, savoury almond, saline minerality and a gentle creaminess from time on lees. A wine of freshness, texture and depth.

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 Stockinger puncheons. An expressive wine - Earl Grey tea, white flower potpourri and herbal inflections lead to fuzzy white peach and tangerine zest. &nbsp; I am deeply fond of the gastronomic white wines of the Rhone valley and encourage you to enjoy this wine with food.

Ironstone and greenstone-rich pre-Cambrian era soils provide depth, structure and mineral complexity, shaping a wine of both detail and power. The fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed, with juice and fine solids fermented in a combination of seasoned Stockinger puncheons and stainless steel before 14 months of élevage.The wine opens with notes of preserved citrus, caraway, fennel pollen, white peach and green almond, carried by a fine mineral line and subtle phenolic grip. A savoury, gastronomic expression of Grenache Blanc, made with the table firmly in mind.

Alexander - these organically grown 40 year old vines were grafted to gamay over the last decade. Due to the immaculate quality of this fruit - 90% whole bunch gamay was fermented and aged in stainless steel. 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.Artwork by Thomas Jeppe. https://gum.wine/2026-GUM-Syrah Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:33:00 +0000 Gum Wine https://gum.wine/2026-GUM-Syrah GUM Syrah Shiraz, Harcourt 2026 <img width="5080" height="4016" width_o="5080" height_o="4016" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6f57a373b57b3fd14f6d620cb2c070dbad4c6934d0e2e1fd1725cde3c155a17/piggy-strolling-7268_v2-smaller.jpg" data-mid="251753186" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e6f57a373b57b3fd14f6d620cb2c070dbad4c6934d0e2e1fd1725cde3c155a17/piggy-strolling-7268_v2-smaller.jpg" /> This Syrah comes from a vineyard we work closely with in Harcourt North. Planted 40 years ago at the base of a slope on the northern reaches of Mt Alexander, the site sits on a visually striking mix of sand, mica-schist and Harcourt granodiorite. The clonal material is equally compelling, originally derived from massale selection cuttings from Hermitage and St-Joseph. Harcourt granodiorite is a fascinating soil. Like granite, it formed during the Devonian period, though it contains a higher proportion of calcium-rich feldspars. Its influence on the wine is profound -bringing intensity and concentration, while the cool nature of the site ensures a long complex ripening period. The result is a wine of power and depth, held in check without elevated alcohol. The wine is bright and fragrant. violet and blue florals lead into ripe raspberry and cherry, with black pepper, olive tapenade and a savoury note of jus gras. I opted for syrah in the nomenclature of this wine as the style is powerful, fragrant and with glossy cool fruits.Artwork by Thomas Jeppe. https://gum.wine/2026-GUM-Sangiovese Wed, 02 Sep 2026 00:34:06 +0000 Gum Wine https://gum.wine/2026-GUM-Sangiovese GUM Sangiovese Sangiovese, Heathcote&nbsp; &nbsp; 2026 <img width="7728" height="4885" width_o="7728" height_o="4885" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1466320677caca2f142b9f0436ccf72ab9662c858f7b8191d2f20d7929ee10af/2025-GUM-Sangiovese.jpg" data-mid="251753188" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1466320677caca2f142b9f0436ccf72ab9662c858f7b8191d2f20d7929ee10af/2025-GUM-Sangiovese.jpg" /> From the Kennedy vineyard grown on the ancient pre-Cambrian era soils of Mt Camel.&nbsp; Fermented and raised in tank, it captures the grape’s savoury sensibilities with a bright, pert line of acidity. Aromas of cracked fennel seed and anise lead to flavours of raspberry essence, cool blue fruits, red cherry and liquorice. A taut, food-driven wine that is vivid and savoury.

The cooler aspect and altitude make this a particularly distinctive site for Grenache. These old vines are among the very few genuinely dry-grown vineyards remaining in Heathcote. Immaculately farmed and naturally low yielding - around one tonne to the acre - they produce fruit of remarkable perfume, nuance and concentration without heaviness. Bright red fruit leads the wine, with wild strawberry and red cherry giving way to orange zest, coriander seed and warm spice. Fine-boned and fragrant, with savoury detail and a long, gently structured finish. A distinctly high-country expression of Heathcote Grenache.
