The team at Oakridge are going from strength to strength these days and they are taking the Over The Shoulder range with them. Dry maraschino cherry and gently gamey yet clean mouthful of delicious Pinot! Really great finishing length for this sort of price!

The wine is tightly packed full of black fruit, spice, cloves, and liquorice. The grape tannins are soft and are beautifully integrated into the wine, giving the wine structure and adding power, balance and a savoury richness. Adam Marks established Bress in 2001 with a desire to produce wines with fruit sourced from notable regions and minimal intervention.“We believe certain grape-growing regions are better suited to particular grape varieties than others,” says winemaker Adam Marks. “The French have understood this for several centuries and some Australian wine producers are now embracing this belief.” Bress, located in Harcourt near Bendigo, Victoria, is one such producer. Adam doesn’t restrict himself to sourcing grapes from one specific region; he’d rather make the most of the diversity of climates and soils central Victoria has to offer and looks to the Yarra Valley, Macedon Ranges, Bendigo and Heathcote for the best quality fruit.

Savoury, woody spice adds greater interest to become quite intense in its cherry skin and stone flavours, with intriguing white mushroom and pepper notes in the finish.

A bright, perfumed medium bodied wine. The Shiraz component is made with the carbonic maceration technique. The perfect lunch or summer wine with its vibrant aromas and crunchy red fruits. A Gold Medal Winner at the 2021 Yarra Valley Wine Show

OAKRIDGE WINES Yarra Valley Series Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley A sophisticated introduction to Oakridge’s red wines, the Yarra Valley Series Pinot Noir takes a select blend of fruit from prime vineyards to craft an expressive, delicious wine. Light in body and a crimson red in the glass, pure fruit, spice, and earth mingle to create a lush, energetic, and surprisingly complex Pinot with great Pinosity. A bright acid line makes for a refreshing red and excellent demonstration of David Bicknell’s deft touch.

This is a very affordable Pinot from the highly regarded Tarrawarra winery with fruit sourced from the estate and the hills of southern NSW. A well made Pinot with good fruit depth and varietal flavour.

Animale is a collaboration between Arfion and Imbibo wines. Arfion simply means “Our Wine” in Scottish Gaelic. Originally from New Zealand, Winemaker Dave Mackintosh established Arfion with his father Brian and brother Jimmy in 2011. The time was right to build a small independent wine business, where they could be hands on, free to take some risks, and make wines that they truly love. Dave has been obsessed with making wine since ’98 and respects numerous styles. This has driven Arfion to mix things up to create classic, single site, single variety expressions as well as multi-vineyard blends and lo-fi offerings. Sourcing grapes from highly skilled, sustainable growers from across the Yarra, we take care in making sure the site and variety are in harmony throughout the season. Low impact winemaking adds layers of flavour and texture. The Pinot noir is a blend of vineyards from the Upper and Lower Yarra Valley, as well as a blend of juicy carbonic fruit and more restrained destemmed ferments. It is a pure Yarra, Pinot expression showing cherry and red berry flavours followed by a detailed savoury finish.

Wine; Super light Ruby/Garnet colours. So perfumed, light strawberry, raspberries, dried thyme (whole bunch?) and a bit of Jamon just for kicks! Really light and delicious on the palate, fresh strawberries, cranberry and raspberry, dried herbs. Tannins just right and lovely acid line through to the persistent and super fresh finish.

A fruit driven style of Pinot with fragrant strawberry aromas and sweet berry flavours. Moderate acidity and feathery tannins frame an elegant palate of ripe cherry with a touch of earthiness.

The Vineyard Series matches particular varieties with specific sites to gi ve you outstanding examples of single v ineyard wines. This wine was sourced from the north-facing Henk Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Woori Yallock. VINTAGE 2021 - A long, cool growing season with average crops and abundant rainfall has resulted in wines with outstanding varietal flavour and purity. A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine 80% whole berr y fermentation with 20% whole bunch inclusion in open vessels for two weeks followed by a 10 month maturation in French oak barrels. Deep crimson red with a garnet hue in appearance. Strong berry fruited aromatics leap from the glass, wild strawberry and red currant transcends to dark cherry and pomegranate. Notes of whole bunch spice and tones of earth add layers and complexity that evolve over time. The palate is medium bodied with a dense and powerful core of red fruit that flows along a soft line of acidity . Well handled soft and velvety tannins are layered within the fruit . Complimentary notes of brown spice and earth add another dimension. Powerful, long and vibrant.
