The quality of fruit produced from the Swinney vineyards has attracted significant demand from premium wine producers, but it was not until 2012 that a very small quantity of the first Swinney wines were released. The Swinney range consists of Riesling, Syrah, Grenache and a Syrah Mourvedre Grenache blend. The fruit from these wines is selectively sourced from particular blocks in the Vineyards to produce wines of impressive purity, concentration, elegance, texture and distinctive terroir. From their 2018 vintage they have released two new special selection wines, a Syrah and Grenache, under the brand name Farvie. These are all exciting wines, the Farvie super-premiums especially so.

Australia's first boutique winery, Lake's Folly was established by Doctor Max Lake and his family in 1963.

Our two flagship wines - a Cabernet blend and a Chardonnay - are made in limited quantities, and are grown, vintaged and bottled on the Estate. The wine styles are restrained and elegant, showing finesse and complexity. They have clarity of structure and greath length of flavour.

POOLEY WINES has an historical property and two separate vineyards in the Coal River Valley in southern Tasmania. The Coal River Valley has developed a worldwide reputation, and is ideally suited, for the production of cool-climate wines such as Pinot, Riesling and Chardonnay.

My family’s conviction that the terra rossa soil of the Clare Valley was perfect for making wine, was borne out with a surprise discovery during the excavation of the vineyard dam. The fossilised remains of tiny seahorses were found in the limestone bedrock– confirmation that the area had once been the bed of an ancient inland sea. After this discovery, it seemed only natural to adopt the seahorse to represent our wines – and today the three seahorses serve as a tribute to three generations of Taylors winemakers; and as a mark of the quality you’ll find in every bottle of Taylors wine.

The first vines were planted at the Fighting Gully Road vineyard site in 1997. The farm, mostly unimproved, was purchased in 1995 and the following two years were spent clearing the property of scrub, stumps and many thousands of rabbits. After establishing a vineyard on colluvial slopes overlooking the Ovens river valley with his brothers in 1988, Marks interest in even cooler climate viticulture led him to elevated Beechworth plateau that can be clearly seen from the original vineyard. Cabernet Sauvignon and a small plot of Merlot were the first vines planted, followed by Pinot Noir in the following year. The site rises up to the top of the escarpment above the Murmungee basin, to the south of the town of Beechworth. The north and west facing lower slopes were planted to the red Bordeaux varieties; while the upper and east facing slopes were planted to Pinot Noir.

These two varieties are what Stonier, and the Mornington Peninsula, has built its reputation on.

It is known that ‘great wine is made in the vineyard’ and we set out to select an exact location that delivered every advantage of a cool climate, undulating topography and ancient soils.

Tasmania is a remarkable place to grow grapes, so in early 2011 we set off for a look and ended up buying a vineyard. The Tolpuddle Vineyard in the Coal River Valley was planted in 1988. The climate is cool and dry - ideal conditions to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir of exceptional quality. We believe Tolpuddle will be a great Australian single vineyard.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Great Dividing Range in the Grampians region of Victoria, the Mount Langi Ghiran (Aboriginal for home of the yellow-tailed black cockatoo) vineyard is one of the most isolated and unique sites in Australian viticulture. The vineyard, with its towering granite cliffs and loamy red soils, encapsulates an extraordinary sense of place. Mount Langi Ghiran , or Langi, as it is fondly referred to by the staff, was originally planted in 1870. It has become the home of one of Australia's finest cool climate wines, the Langi Shiraz. Langi was first planted with Shiraz in 1870, but was later replanted by the Fratin brothers in 1963. The exceptionally high quality of the Fratin's fruit quickly drew a strong following and in 1978, the brothers appointed Trevor Mast as consultant winemaker. Inspired by the potential of the vineyard and keen to develop it further, Trevor and Sandra Mast purchased the property in 1987. In late 2002 the property was sold to the Rathbone family. Today, Mount Langi Ghiran’s winemaking is led by Adam Louder, Chief Winemaker. Born and bred in the Grampians, Adam first started his career at Langi while working as a cellar hand under Trevor Mast. With rich experience across various wine regions around the globe, Adam returned in 2016 and upholds the winemaking philosophy that has long guided Langi; producing inimitable, distinctive cool climate wines that capture the unique terroir and extraordinary sense of place.

All Saints Estate is a family owned winery established in 1864 and located on the banks of the Murray River in Wahgunyah, Victoria. Original owners George Sutherland Smith, born in 1830, and his friend John Banks, born in 1833, arrived from Cathiness, Scotland in 1852. They were 23 and 20 years of age, and settled in the Wahgunyah area in 1864. They had both trained as engineers at the Edinburgh Railway Institute. They built a bridge over the Edwards River at Deniliquin during their first years in Australia as well as buildings in Beechworth including the Presbyterian Church, part of the gaol and the original hospital of which the façade still remains. Wahgunyah had been first settled by Mr Faithfull, who acquired ‘Bonthorambo’, but he did not stay due to trouble with the indigenous Australians. The first permanent settler was the Rev. J.B Docker who, in 1838, settled at Bonthorambo and held all the land from the Ovens River to the Murray River as a cattle run. Rev. Docker did not retain the whole Ovens River to Murray River District for long as other squatters moved in, among whom was James Lindsay Brown who became the pioneer vinegrower of the Rutherglen district. Smith and Banks began growing vines at ‘Sunday Creek’ nearer to Wahgunyah than present All Saints Estate winey, before coming to where the 'castle' is, three miles north of Wahgunyah, in 1869. The partners took up 100 acres and proceeded with planting vines in earnest whilst also constructing the pise cellars made from the estate soil. An 'Argus' supplement of 1888 dealing with the Melbourne Exhibition stated that the All Saints Estate castle was built over the original pise building housing the maturing wine, which was left undisturbed over this time.

Since 2007 all fortified wines are sold under the Seppeltsfield label.

Alex has long been interested in 'Old-World' wines and their symbiosis with all things culinary; particularly Shiraz from an appellation in France's Northern Rhone Valley called Cote Rotie (roasted slope). Shiraz has been the only red grape grown there for thousands of years, initially thought to have been cultivated by the Roman Empire. A great legend states that in the Middle Ages, a Seigneur of Ampuis called 'Count Maugiron' owned the steeply terraced hills of Cote Rotie. He was also blessed with two beautiful daughters, one a blonde and the other a brunette. The Southern slope of the Cote (also suited to viognier) which contains more granite, mica and limestone made a softer, rounded more elegant wine which delighted its drinkers with perfume and femininity. Here, the soil and wines showed colour and character of his blonde daughter. The Northern slope contained heavy soils of schist and iron, producing an intense wine with dark fruits and tannin that required age to show its true potential. Here, the soil and wine showed colour and character of his brunette daughter. When Count Maugiron finally retired he passed on the two Cotes to his daughters and to this day, they are still referred to as the 'Cote Blonde' and 'Cote Brune'. These soil structures and colours are of utmost importance to the properties of the fruit which grow in these vineyards. For Alex's unique Barossa Valley wines, he selected two vineyard sites where, similar to Côte Rotie, the soils produce contrasting styles of Shiraz. 'The Blonde' comes from a vineyard in Stonewell, which consists of sandy loam mixed with quartz on a limestone base that gives the wine accentuated perfume and complexity. 'The Brunette' comes from a high elevation vineyard in Moppa, which consists of heavy soils of deep red clay and ironstone that give structure, longevity and reward from cellaring.

Subsequent plantings (1993 to 2000) have seen the vineyard grow to 14 hectares (33 acres). The majority of the area is planted to Pinot Noir (69%), with Chardonnay (26%), and a small area of Pinot Gris (5%).
