 | We had a call from a customer with friends living in Melbourne and Adelaide who have decided to meet here for a weekend when this is over, so have bought Glamping vouchers to look forward to that day ... Something to really look forward too and we cannot wait to share Bellwether again soon. | |

Vintage is all but done, we are cleaning, topping tanks and barrels. Stirring the lees in our Chardonnay and Rosato. Checking the Malo’s of our reds.
We have included the videos below (just in case you missed them on our Facebook page) from our Coonawarra and Tamar Valley vineyards that some of our finest fruit comes from. The Wetherall’s Cabernet block in Coonawarra and Bundaleera in Relbia in Tasmania (Rob did a great job!).

We will be uploading a virtual tasting (as if you have dropped in to cellar door) on our website. So while you can’t come and taste at the moment, check this out for an overview of our wines, and a glimpse inside the 1868 stone Glen Roy shearing shed that is now our winery and cellar door.
Remember any order of 1 dozen or more has the potential to win a free #Glamping #Voucher. We will drop one into a case every week.

It’s a great way to catch up with each other, grab a glass of wine and maybe something tasty from a local restaurant you want to support. Post your pictures, share the gig with friends, it’s our gift to you and supports the arts.

2015 Tamar Valley Chardonnay - ageing very slowly, tight, mineral and zesty with hints of flinty sulphides. Will cellar for longer but really complex yet still tight now.
2015 Coonawarra Cabernet Very even fruit set, beautiful size bunches and well spaced across the canopy. A great season, almost perfect making very good Cabernet. Dense and brooding with very refined tannins. A true classic Coonawarra.
Both beautiful sites that are early ripening with respect to neighbouring vineyards, essentially due to detailed pruning, shoot thinning and crop thinning if necessary. |
