yarra valley victoria Thousand Candles thousand candles Thousand candles - is taken from a nineteenth century account of the local land that harks back to the country's original indigenous people. A ceremony granting free passage (Freedom of the Bush) to the lands around the property was witnessed by a European settler, who referring to the tribesmen dramatically holding aloft their firesticks, remarked that it was as if the 'twilight of the evening had been interrupted by thousand candles'. www.thousandcandles.com.au Current Release Thousand Candles Proprietary Blend RP92+ Pinot Noir, & Sauvignon Blanc victoria William Downie William downie William Downie established his own label in 2003 after several years living and working in Burgundy.

They are not added to or subtracted from. Although each of the William Downie wines is made from Pinot Noir, the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland are more different than they are similar.

eden valley Heggies Vineyard heggies vineyard The Heggies Vineyard was owned by local grazier and bushman, Colin Heggie, before being purchased by Wyndham Hill Smith, then Manager of the Yalumba Wine Company. Friends since school days, Colin and Wyndham's friendship continued into adulthood and throughout their lengthy negotiation over the purchase of Heggie's land - a negotiation that was not a lot more than an excuse for relaxed chats about land, cattle, horses, wine and life! Planting began in 1971 on the North Eastern corner of the property and the first wine was released in 1979. It was the first wine to bear the idiosyncratic label that features a drawing of Colin Heggie, the bushman, looking out over the fledgling Heggies plantings astride his faithful chestnut, Jack. www.heggiesvineyard.com Chardonnay Pewsey Vale pewsey vale With an altitude varying between 485 metres and 500 metres, Pewsey Vale sits 250 metres above the Barossa Valley floor.

tasmania Jansz jansz tasmania Jansz's vineyards lie in the Tamar Valley along the Northern Tasmanian route at the heart of Tasmania's Pipers River region, an area known worldwide as "Sparkling Tasmania". With a mantle of red basalt soils and a cool climate moderated by its close proximity to the ocean, it is ideal for the slow ripening of fruit and lingering acidity so essential to the production of premium sparkling wine. In fact, the area's climate so resembled Champagne and Burgundy that several leading French Champagne houses considered basing new operations there. www.jansztas.com Sparkling Premium Cuvee Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Pinot Meunier JH94 NV 750 Premium Cuvee Rose Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Pinot Meunier Tasmania Cuvee Pinot Noir & Chardonnay JH93 NV 750 RP91 2006 750 2008 750 2009 750 Tolpuddle tolpuddle Located about 20 minutes drive from Hobart, in Tasmania's southeast, the Coal River Valley has established a reputation for growing exceptional quality grapes.

tasmania Dalrymple dalrymple Dalrymple's celebrated vineyard of just 12.3 hectares and with vines exceeding 20 years, rise up an easterly facing slope from 100m to 160m above sea level. With latitude of 41, the vineyard shares similar conditions to that found in Burgundy. Tea trees, eucalypts and ferns protect its terroir on all sides, whilst sea breezes from nearby Bass Strait moderate dry and night temperatures, thereby encouraging the grapes to ripen evenly. On the western border of the property lies the extinct volcanic crater which created the vineyard's rich basalt soils. These soils are of a moderate depth and so provide excellent drainage to avoid waterlogging, keeping the vines in relatively good balance. www.dalrymplevineyards.com.au White Estate Chardonnay Reds Pinot Noir Single Site Block CV90 Pinot Noir 2011 750 RP90+ 2011 750 73 Retail Catalogue August 2015
