Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown |Beechworth |Shiraz
VS&B's insanely smashable Pinot/Shiraz blend with a splash of Sangiovese. Surely one of the most easy-drinking reds in Beechworth.

Description

Tessa Brown and Jeremy Schmolzer's Pret-a-Rouge is a blend of Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Sangiovese sourced from Beechworth and the Alpine Valleys.

Don't think too hard on the mechanics of the blend, this is made for ease of drinking and somehow these strange bed-fellows just work. It's built to be readily approachable and versatile, and it truly nails the brief.

If you are looking to get familiar with these two rising stars of Victorian wine, the Pret-a-Rouge is the best place to start.

    Something different

    Very easy drinking and the blend of shiraz, pinot and sangoviese was different to anything else I've tried. Great with or without food and look forward to drinking the other 5!

Fan favourite, our Prêt-à-Rouge has always intended to communicate something of the intrinsic nature of Beechworth’s recognised red wine structure, in an accessible, earlier drinking frame. We’ve always worked hard to over deliver on succulence and approachability whilst still boasting classic Beechworth structure and savoury length in this wine.

This is a blend of Beechworth Shiraz (50%), Pinot Noir (40%), and Sangiovese (10%) from vineyards under uncertified organic management. 2023 was a very cool vintage, so this wine is delicate, and a little subdued. Layers of red-fruited enjoyment, savoury complexity and satisfying structure to length. Think macerated strawberry, blueberry, cherry, and a crinkle of oregano herbage.

Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown

Tessa and Jeremy are playing a long-game with their Vignerons Schmolzer & Brown label.

They have invested in a block of land high in the hills behind Beechworth and have planted 10,000 vines on it over the last couple of years with the plan to farm it organically. Tessa has a wealth of experience from time at Sorrenberg and Kooyong, Jeremy is an architect by trade with an eye for detail.

It comes as no surprise that the buzz around this husband and wife team is palpable and the praise is high. Max Allen called them, “one of a remarkable number of impressive new wine labels to have cropped up in Beechworth over the last five years.”

They are going to be at the forefront of Beechworth wine for many years to come.
