Tasting Notes: During the blending of this wine the word ‘juicy’ was used by more than one participant. Indeed this wine delivers a mouthful of flavour to the drinker, combining rich berry-fruit flavours and aromas with soft fine-grained tannins and a lingering finish. Superb drinking and one of our personal favourites…

Winemaker’s Notes: The fruit used to produce this wine was of such a high quality that the wine almost made itself. Following crushing, the wine was inoculated with yeasts that would retain the aromatics of the grapes whilst aiding the extraction of colour and tannin. American and French oak were used at various stages of the winemaking process to add to the complexity and balance of the finished wine.

This range of wines start from only £7.00 (was £7.50), making them a fantastic price for a quality wine which can only be bought from Vin Vino Direct.

The Region: The Moorabool Valley represents one of Australia’s finest cool climate wine regions with a fast growing reputation for boutique wineries producing premium hand crafted wines.  Family owned and operated wineries dominate the Valley giving visitors the opportunity to meet with the people who tend the vines and produce the wide range of classic and alternative wines on offer.
With a history extending back to 1842, Swiss immigrants chose the Moorabool Valley to plant some of Victoria’s earliest vines. Decimated by the Phylloxera virus in the late 1800′s, the Valley’s renaissance began in the 1960′s with new plantings at Idyll Vineyard and Del Rios of Anakie.Today, a small band of passionate winemakers embrace the challenge of producing superior cool climate wines from the tough limestone and basalt base which forms this region’s unique terroir.
Nestled between Geelong & Ballarat, the Moorabool Valley’s small, family run vineyards provide rich and intense low yield fruit, perfect for crafting into award winning wines….
