Old Richmond Gaol was one of Diemen Land's first prisons, built by the convicts themselves, of good old fashioned granite blocks, laboriously hauled in wooden hand carts and quarried from the ominously monikered Butchers Hill. Today, Butchers Hill is the site of the steepest sloping vineyard in Coal River Valley, invigorated by afternoon sea breezes and prevailing winds from the roaring forties, its highly auspicious, self mulching black Vertosols, yield extraordinary wines. Established by founding members of the Hobart Beefsteak & Burgundy Club, Butchers Hill represents three generations of passion amongst the nether vineyards of the Apple Isle. Not just a..

One of our nation's enduring winemaking dynasties, the Hamiltons planted vines just outside Adelaide in 1837. Great grandson Sydney Hamilton was a legendary and innovative viticulturalist, he ultimately made his own oenological conversion to the sacred Terra Rosa soils of Coonawarra in 1974, establishing one of Australia's most distinguished vineyards on a highly auspicious site, naming the property after forebear Lord Leconfield. An exceptional value for Cabernet of its class, presaged by a vigorously perfumed berry punnet nose, syrup textured, stately and refined, Leconfield makes a compelling..

Some precious old blocks of ancient vine Grenache still remain after a government sponsored program to cull unproductive vineyards during the 1980s. Yielding excruciatingly small harvests of the most characterful fruit, these wizzened old veterans deliver small batch vintages which are evocative of the old world classics from Cotes du Rhone. The enduring Wirra Wirra were established 1894, their eclectic range belies the splendour of small parcels which are separately handled and bottled for exclusive release. The Absconder draws fruit from vines planted a century ago, it merits a breathing and decant, an articulation about the sublime excellence of old vine.. The compelling case for old vines grenache»

Louis Jadot Macon Saint Veran CONFIRM VINTAGE

Chardonnay Macon France
Louis Jadot has accrued generations of experience managing the fruit of Burgundy's growers. The different geological strata, alongside the many variations of the Jurassic limestone clay soil, give the wines of Le Bourgogne their richness, diversity and distinctiveness. Saint Veran is a small commune within the Maconnais region, to the north are Pouilly-Fuisse, Pouilly-Loche and Pouilly-Vinzelles. The dominance of pure, single varietal wines is an inviolable Burgundian sacrament. A generous Chardonnay with completely engaging, savoury fruit palate.
Any wine which carries the Louis Jadot label must of necessity be produced to the most exacting standards. Vines are carefully pruned during the dormant phase of winter, so crucial to regulating yields and optimizing quality. Louis Jadot believes that the only way to truly respect grapes is to harvest by hand. On the sorting table, only the ripest and healthiest are selected. Chardonnay is fermented slowly in Burgundian casks of 228 litres called pieces. The vineyards at Saint Veran are planted predominately to very stony, limestone soils. Harmony between earth and vine is the key, the finished wine is bottled the following spring to age and evolve ever so sightly, yet retain essential vibrancy and freshness.
Pale straw gold colour. Creamy nose, savoury stonefruit characters, pebbles and oyster shell, vanilla cashew notes. Very dry, delicate and youthful palate, subtle nutty flavours, mealyness and brine, a layered, textural roundness before a lingering, aromatic finish. Refreshing as an aperitif, Macon Saint Veran is also a superb accompaniment to hors d'oeuvre, delicately flavoured charcuterie, oysters, seafood and snails.
