Victoria's Cellar

Dalwhinnie

Moonambel Shiraz 2012

Not bad for $30.00 Web notes This iconic estate nestled into a natural amphitheatre 2,000 feet up in Victoria's Pyrenees mountain range produces some of the country's most highly regarded and awarded wines The vineyard was established in 1976 and is the highest and most remote in the Pyrenees region. All the vines are dry farmed and naturally low yielding due to the very poor rocky soils. The elevation of the site means that they experience dramatic diurnal swings in temperature, the cool nights drawing out the growing season and preserving excellent natural acidity in the wines. The slow gradual ripening process results in more complex flavor development and bestows the wines with exceptional longevity. These wines whilst being remarkably good young will be excellent prospects for a decade plus in the cellar. Winemaker's Notes: "Our 33rd vintage of this wine is an intense purple-black colour. The complex bouquet displays raspberry and dark cherry fruit, a savoury black olive note and an exotic graphite element. The weight is medium but the attack is immensely powerful and persistent. Wonderful juicy sweet-sour dark fruit is framed by fine ripe tannins. This is a wine to decant and enjoy now or keep for the long term. — 3 years ago

That price is a steal Paul. Sells for around $90 AUD in Australia.

It was a first time seeing these here in the states, I bought both bottles they had. I’ll save the 2nd one now that I see it’s impossible to find more. I looked but only in Australia now. Its a refined Shiraz not a bruising fruit bomb.

Yes, I am familiar with Dalwhinnie, it is a class act. Central Victoria with spice and pepper. Restrained with an earthy note. Very different to the Barossa and McLaren Vale.

Tahbilk

Marsanne

Tahbilk is Victoria's oldest family owned winery and vineyard. Marsanne was first planted here in the 1860s. Current plantings date back to 1927 and reputedly the oldest in the world. Continuing on with the White Rhone theme - Pale gold at 10 years with a pungent mineral yet sweet honeysuckle nose. Sweet honeyed palate with acid having diminished. Touch of mouldy oranges. Lovely and different. — 10 years ago
