The fruit for this wine was sourced from Con Mara Vineyard in Whorouly South, Alpine Valleys, Victoria. The 3t of fruit was picked in early March and taken back to Beechworth for processing. The wine spent nearly 14 months in 4 x new 500L French Oak puncheons and has yielded a more full-bodied style than the 2013 vintage. This received a gold medal at the North East Victorian Wine Challenge; 94 Points Halliday Wine Companion, 92 Points The Wine Front; and 4 Stars in Winestate.

Produced using equal portions of whole bunch and destemmed fruit along with indigenous yeasts and minimalist wine making techniques of pump overs and aerations reducing to irregular pumch down in a combination of new and aged French oak. MLF was undertaken in barrel and the wine was left on full lees for approx. 14 months before racking and bottling unfiltered and unfinned.

Blend 2 combines two of the Nebbiolo clones we have growing at Pipan Steel Wines. It has the perfume from Clone 9 and the savouriness from Clone 10, resulting in a smooth, fragrant wine. Enjoy it with your best friends and favourite food.

This is a bold Pinot Noir with a palate that is rich and distinctive with a fleshy texture with a smooth finish. Featuring black cherry, plum and a touch of cinnamon, bright and vibrant with the savoury spice of a Burgundy style wine. Our Pinot Noir has great persistence and length with a taut structure.

This bright, sophisticated, cool-climate Shiraz has a wonderful generosity of red fruit, pepper and spice, that are subtly complexed and supported by the vanillin hints and fine tannins of the best French oak. Meticulous and painstakingly management of our twenty-year old vines ensures the wine is equally enjoyable as a fresh young wine or after five to ten years in the cellar.

This is not your average rosé. Handpicked from painstakingly managed 20-year-old Shiraz vines, the fruit was crushed and sent directly to tank to preserve the character of the wine. Fleeting contact with skins rewards with gorgeous colour and crunch. A cooler ferment keeps it bright, before ageing in old French oak for an element of savouriness.

Our Tempranillo offering is a mid-weight wine, visually appealing with a gorgeous ruby-red hue. The wine is soft and inviting, with hints of cherry and clove on the palate. This is a lighter style Tempranillo, rarely experienced outside of Spain. A delicate wine, showing balance between earth and fruit with gentle tannins that linger.

Pretty and ethereal with classic Nebbiolo 'light on their feet' fruit characteristics, coupled with a fine tannin structure. This Beechworth Nebbiolo is structured and approachable with herbal aromas and flavours of red cherries and spice.

“Still youthful and drinking exceptionally well, these bottles are worth seeking out for a chance to taste Cabernet at its developing best, but with at least another ten years to go: loads of vibrant primary blackcurrant/cassis fruit, secondary vanilla oak and tertiary flavours of leather and forest floor. Dreamy.” – Melissa Moore, Sommelier. These rare bottles are closed with the original ‘Gundowringla’ cork of our parents’ label and each bottle is individually hand-dipped in wax by Brendan. The 2002 Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon was Mark’s first ever vintage at Gundowring. We rediscovered a small quantity of these bottles while moving stock and having sampled several bottles were delighted that they are drinking exceptionally well, with fresh fruit balanced by soft tannins. With Trudi and Ian’s blessing we’ve labeled them under the Elura label. FOOD & WINE MATCHING Elura’s 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is a food wine ideally complements rich and bold red meat flavours, hearty casseroles or cured meats. Best decanted. CELLARING With 20+ years in cellar already, this Heritage Release Cabernet Sauvignon is drinking well now and has cellaring potential of another 10+ years.
