Most of the fruit was destemmed giving lots of whole berries and a small number of whole clusters were used in the Quarry 10\/5 and Shelf 1998 ferments. The ferments had 26 to 30 days on skins with cold pre-ferment and warm post-ferment macerations. After basket pressing, the wine went into 100% new French oak, it was racked and blended after 12 months and had 8 months in tank before bottling on the 9th of December 2019 with a pH of 3.66, TA of 5.4 g\/L and an alcohol of 13.5%. 4,911 bottles were produced.

Not heavy in structure or colour but has a fine mineral flow and salinity that give a lengthening direction to the wine. A linear wine that has a salivating energy to the wine, giving it nervosity and tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2018 vintage began with a very mild winter and significant rainfall in early spring. Soil work was completed on time with pruning finishing early and bud burst coming a week early. No water was used during frost protection, just the wind machine when needed. An exceptionally warm growing season with very rapid growth and little wind. Cyclone Gita in February brought significant rainfall and some botrytis pressure with grapes riper than usual for that time of year. Spraying under nets was necessary and fruit thinning continued up to harvest to remove any disease. We started with picking the sparkling base wine on March 16th with selections from Roadblock Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and Limeworks 2009 Chardonnay. Moving to Chardonnay on March 21st to 31st - Limeworks 2009, Shelf, and Limeworks 1999. The Pinot Noirs came in from March 27th to April 5th – Roadblock, Shelf West, Shelf 1998, Quarry Rootlings, Slope, Shelf Top, Shelf Bottom and finally, the Quarry 10\/5. Our new winery set-up had its inaugural harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur winemaking philosophy is simple, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blocks are multi-cloned and harvested, fermented, pressed, put to barrel separately as individual blocks. This allows us to follow the evolution of the parcels for a year before making blending decisions and gives opportunities to evaluate single parcel potential. When we have good volume, we can split blocks in half for winemaking trials. The yeasts are natural, coming from the vineyard, with small natural starters from each parcel after the fruit has been processed into its fermenting vat (PN) or pressed into tank (CH). Malolactic fermentation is 100%, also natural. No fining or clarification agents are used, and filtration is minimal – coarse filtering for Chardonnay, the same for Pinot Noir from the racking valve down, or not at all. For Chardonnay, the first addition of sulphur is at 12 months when the wine comes out of barrel into tank. Pinot Noir sees an addition of sulphur at processing to protect the fruit during its cold maceration time and acid adjustments in the fermenter to stabilise pH for long term stability, colour, and ageing. The wine is then left alone and sulphured in tank after barrel ageing for 12 months. Small sulphur adjustments are made, if necessary, just before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41426460868694,"sku":"SK34467862","price":418.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/5301\/4102\/files\/BellHillPinotNoir750ml_c021748f-e432-4aa6-878a-e41441d81082.png?v=1790049912"},{"product_id":"2010-moorooroo-limited-release-shiraz-750ml","title":"2010 Schild Estate Moorooroo Limited Release Shiraz 750ml","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"201\" data-end=\"475\"\u003eFour rows of ancient Shiraz vines—just enough to produce around 200 dozen bottles—were planted by Johann and William Jacob in 1847.

Since 1994, they have remained committed to creating exceptional Rhone-style red and white wines that reflect the very best vineyards in Australia's famous Barossa region. Provenance is everything to them, and they believe that the Barossa is the most exciting place to make wine in the world. With a European sense of tradition, Torbreck pays tribute to the vineyards with minimal intervention, creating wines of richness, structure and length that age gracefully. The multi-generational growers, whose descendants arrived here nearly two centuries ago, are the backbone of Torbreck's winemaking aspirations. They work in partnership with the people of the Barossa who grow their fruit, always aiming to get the very best out of their vineyard sites. At Torbreck, they constantly seek to understand the difference between all of these special places in the Barossa and how this combination of soil, climate and farming experience is reflected in unique grape flavors. They are simply custodians, enhancing the innate expressiveness of the wines and enabling them to reveal over time their individual origins and personality. Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland where the winery's founder, David Powell worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Torbreck RunRig Shiraz is a wine that pays homage to the Highland clans \"RunRig\" system of communal land distribution. This system emphasized the communal element of the whole rather than any one farm, and the RunRig Shiraz embodies this philosophy by blending Shiraz from old dry-grown vineyards with Viognier to complement the strengths and complexities of each individual parcel of fruit, giving the wine a further dimension. The resulting wine has often drawn comparisons with the beautifully fragrant and tautly structured wines produced from the steep slopes of the Northern Rhône Valley's Appellation of Côte Rôtie. With this wine, Torbreck has created a true masterpiece that embodies the spirit of community and the beauty of the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"cmslanding__image-title\"\u003eTOP VINTAGES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__image-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2015, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002, 2001, 1998, 1996, 1995.

It is a forward-thinking estate and one which was instrumental in pioneering a new technique for evaporating excess water to re-balance the must, resulting in less need for chaptalisation. It is perhaps unsurprising to learn, in view of this, that the Domaine is owned by a consortium of Australian shareholders. La Pousse d'Or is located a few kilometres from Beaune, in the commune of Volnay. The 13 hectares of vineyard are spread among the communes of Volnay, Pommard, and Santenay, each producing distinctive and stylish wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLes Feusselottes is a 4.4-ha premier cru vineyard directly below the vineyards and above Les Charmes. The soil is a mixture of limestone and clay – not dissimilar to Musigny (but not nearly as high up the hill) and two-thirds of Pousse d’Or’s small .42ha plot was planted in the 1920s with the other third planted in 1966. The wines from here are usually textbook chambolle with their minerality and purity of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"details pl-3 bb-1 bc-off-white-50 lg--pl-0 pb-4\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"region row align-center pt-7 pb-1 lg--no-wrap\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"h6 c-biege w-190px lg--no-shrink lg--w-170px\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.reservecellar.com.au\/maker\/domaine-de-la-pousse-dor\" class=\"flex\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.reservecellar.com.au\/maker\/domaine-de-la-pousse-dor\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41427037454422,"sku":"SK77423559","price":372.75,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/5301\/4102\/files\/DomainedelaPoussed_OrLesFeusselottes750ml_9af2c938-6e09-4954-bfe0-2292bd9ea57e.png?v=1784209212"},{"product_id":"2020-la-pousse-dor-gevrey-chambertin-1er-cru-la-perriere-750ml","title":"2020 Domaine de la Pousse d'Or La Perriere Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e89-92 Alan Meadows, Burghound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\"A decidedly earthier and more sauvage-inflected nose reflects very fresh notes of poached plum and wild dark cherries.
