This Shiraz Viognier has aromas of spice, red fruit and cedar. It is very aromatic with the same spiced fruit flavour persisting throughout the palate.

Bryan Martin has been producing thought-provoking wines in Murrumbateman wine country since 2001. Their Estate vineyard is managed sustainably, focusing on soil health, and foregoing synthetic chemicals, herbicides, and fertilisers. Fruit is also sourced for their Regional Series from the surrounding Young, Hilltops & Canberra District regions. The 2022 Regional Sangiovese marks the 20th vintage producing this varietal, with fruit sourced primarily from the Hilltops region with a splash of Murrumbateman for elegance. After spending 3 weeks on skins as whole-berries, the wine is pressed to small 5 year old French oak casks for élevage, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Murrumbateman is perfect area for this variety producing wine with cherry, nutty dominated flavours with a hint of spice and juniper too. The palate is medium weight with a great acid balance and fine tannins. Have with any kind of food that resembles Italian - a great food wine.

Here, we have a wine of ample fragrance, texture and appeal. It’s perfumed with yellow florals, citrus and stone fruits and a nice, subtle background of savoury nuttiness. The components are well balanced, working in harmony to create a wine of fresh acidity and full, fleshy textures, making this a gastronomic delight. Consume as you would a Chardonnay—not too cold and in a generous glass.

The curious adventurer in Bryan Martin speaks loudest in Chardonnay. Eschewing convention, he toys with vessels and methods to coax every drop of character from the fruit, and the results are always thrilling, striking and delightfully unexpected. Unconventional, sure—but wow, does this taste good.

Bryan Martin has a great knack for working with Italian varieties - his Sangiovese and Nebbiolo renditions are in the country's upper echelon and he's no slouch with Fiano. This wine ticks a whole lot of boxes for us. The naturally bright acidity of Fiano makes it a great candidate for Martin's 'texture-first' winemaking style. This has body and flavour with a lovely waxy varietal character making it an excellent sort of any-time, anywhere white wine built for all occasions.

Bryan Martin continues to eke out some of the most interesting wines that NSW has to offer. This is his Gamay Noir, and surprise, surprise, it is a belter. When a Tumbarumba grower called him up in 2015 with some fruit on offer, Martin jumped at the chance. And since the epic success of the first release, a wine that James Halliday said, "No gamay has previously been made equal to this in Australia", Martin has only refined his stylings further with this much-loved variety. This falls under the Ravensworth heading of 'weird stuff'. It's definitely left of centre but boy is it dangerously gluggable. If you're looking for something bright and fun to drink, this is going to thrill you to bits! "There’s more to it than just another early drinking red, the structure and complexity will see it emerge as an impressive wine with a little age, if you can wait that long." - Bryan Martin
