Sonnet Of Saintly Soils»
Heirloom Vineyards were born of love. A romance between an esteemed wine judge and his protege, consumated by a shared passion to preserve the integrity of venerable old vineyards. A deference for the sanctity of the soil and adherence to the timeless procedures of organic viticulture, were an integral part of the vision. Their parching quest, to secure some grand old blocks of vine in the elder precincts of Adelaide Hills, Coonawarra, Barossa and Valley Eden, were followed by years of corrective husbandry, pencil label releases and bespoke vintages. The fostered old vines have now been resurrected, yielding treasured harvests of the most sublime new world wine. Recipients of prestigious Platinum Award &.. Serenading sleeping vineyards to life»
Leongatha, Lucinda & Lees»
Just outside the Gippsland town of Leongatha, a few minutes down the road from the hallowed grounds at Bass Phillip estate, ten precious acres of exceptional terroir were planted in 1990, to artisanal clones of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. The propitious easterly aspects make the most of morning sun, an auspicious bequeath of fertile Ferrosols oblige the rootstock and infuse the fruit, while reducing the vigor and rationing the harvest. Lucinda Estate was never established as a producer of scale, its scant yields were always destined to be in pursuit of stunning Syrah and the perfect Pinot.

Princely Parcels of Portsea»
Dr Frederick Kiel would take the trek by paddle steamer from Melbourne every summer during the late 1800s to spend his summers at Sorrento.

The conspicuously low yields of some great old Barossa vineyards makes their fruit unviable for commercial brands. Only the most skilled and knowledgeable small batch winemakers have the dedication to handle such precious parcels of old vines fruit. Shiraz is picked off a single site in the Angaston foothills, planted to sand over clay soils, growing at an elevation of 275 metres. Fruit is crushed into traditional open top fermenters and treated to a course of manual pumpovers, twice daily throughout the vinification. Upon completion, batches are basket pressed and racked into a selection of seasoned oak barrels for an extended term of twelve to eighteen months, to be bottled without fining or filtration.
Dark crimson colour. Aromas of intense and brightly perfumed primary red fruits dominate the nose, a herbaceous edge adding complexity. Plenty of richness on the palate, supple flavours of cherry and raspberry supported by hints of chocolate, balanced acidity and silky tannins. A simply brilliant construct of approachable, single vineyard Barossa Shiraz.

Zeppelin
Zeppelin was created by Artisan of the Barossa winemakers Corey Ryan and Kym Teusner

The wines are made using traditional techniques and a hands off philosophy to create wines full of character. Proud of the region's German heritage, the brand was named in honour of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, a brave and progressive man who thought big, really big.

Zeppelin

Zeppelin is source fruit from vineyards either owned by Teusner Wines or Sons of Eden, selected for their age, up to 80 years old, low yielding nature and character. Ferdinand is from a vineyard in Greenock, the Barossa Shiraz in Angaston and the Barossa Grenache is sourced from 60 to 80 year old vines between Greenock and Ebenezer.

A very simplistic approach to winemaking is employed, preserving individual vineyard character and making wines with personality. The red wines are made using open fermenters, pumped over by hand, and basket pressed. Predominantly older French oak is used, with Ferdinand up to 50% new, before bottling without fining or filtration. Minimal sulphur added.
