25 year Graeme’s Blend Special Release - $184 per case
To mark the 25th year of Graeme’s Blend we are releasing a smartly packaged lay down six pack containing two each of the Graeme’s Blend ’05, ’04 and ’01. It’s a great presentation or gift pack, and has a line drawing of the old bird scarer himself (Graeme) on the lid. This will not be seen by everybody as an advantage, of course.

Two Mates Shiraz 2005 - $40/$430
Graeme Leith and Stefano de Pieri have been mates for 27 years, Stefano cooking, Graeme making the wine. They had long contemplated the idea of making a wine from specially selected premium Victorian shiraz; this is the second such bottling. The grapes have been sourced from three separate vineyards and matured in mainly French and some fine grained, water bent American oak, then blended. The result is a deep, full-bodied voluptuous wine. A classic Bendigo shiraz, far more interesting and complex than most others.

Reserve Shiraz 2006 - $35per bottle/$210per case (6 bottle limit)
Every year we set aside small quantities of select fruit from our vineyard for the
reserve shiraz. A beautifully structured wine, of which we are proud; it has
great mouthfeel, excellent balance of tannin, fruit and alcohol with a whiff
of quality oak. With its raspberry/mulberry flavours and gentle tannins
it displays a complexity and delicacy seldom found in central Victorian wines.

Sparkling Chardonnay ‘Daylesford’ 2008 - $30/$324 per case
This is the first sparkling from our Musk vineyard, just beyond Daylesford in the Macedon Ranges. Made in the Méthode Champenoise style from a vineyard site suited perfectly to creating fruit with complex flavours at low sugar levels. With flavours of crisp white pear, citrus, a touch of yeastiness from its six months on lees and added complexity from a small percentage of four year old Musk chardonnay, this is a superb example of cool climate sparkling

Reserve Pinot 2005 - $28/$300 per case
This is our first reserve pinot; dark cherries and complex savoury aromas follow onto the palate with some vegetative complexity. A hint of well integrated oak; it is a very well structured wine. This is a superb pinot with just the right amount of bottle age, although it will cellar happily for years to come.

Graeme’s Blend Shiraz Cabernet 2005 - $25/$270 per case
We are proud to present this, our 25th release of Graeme’s Blend to you; rich complex aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and some spice follow through onto the palate which is full and complex with a touch of soft oak. A beautiful wine that can be enjoyed now -we have already done some of the cellaring for you, although it will improve for a further 8-10 years.

Pinot Noir 2008 - $24/$259 per case
The richness of the Coldstream fruit grown by Vanessa and Robert McKernan is complemented by the subtleties and fantastic natural acid from a small addition of pinot grapes from our Musk vineyard, near Daylesford in the Macedon ranges.
With spiciness and some vegetative complexity on the nose; rich, dark red cherries on the palate, a great mouthfeel and lingering finish this is a terrific wine to complement light red meats or simply on its own, shared with friends.

Musk Chardonnay 2007 - $23/$248 per case
Flavours of crisp white pear with a touch of citrus complemented by quality French oak and powerful natural acidity make this a distinguished wine in the Burgundian style.
