The vineyard’s Pinot blocks, first planted in 1987, remain central to the Meadowbank story, now shaped by the combined hands of Gerald and Mardi Ellis and Dredge himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eFruit is picked in three stages across two weeks to build complexity from varied ripeness levels. Fermentation runs for around two weeks on skins, followed by nine months in seasoned French oak.

The 2025 is another great release, in possibly a more approachable and playful style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is grown and vinified by Barry and Jan Morey on their small property on the outskirts of Beechworth township. Winemaking is low-tech but detailed, each berry receiving attention from Barry on its way through wild ferment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit (including 10% Pinot Noir) is basket pressed and sent to slumber in the caves beneath the Morey household before being bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften described as a 'Burgundian-style'; there are many reasons why this is considered by many as Australia's best Gamay and our answer to Cru Beaujolais, but to truly know why you'll need to try it for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtremely limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"2025 Sorrenberg Gamay\" href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-sorrenberg-gamay\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2023 Lambert Nebbiolo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there’s one wine that defines Luke Lambert’s reputation, it’s this. Planted halfway up Denton’s sun-catching northwest slope, the Nebbiolo block is a patchwork of six clones rooted in granitic sand over bedrock - a rare and striking terroir for the Yarra Valley. Luke farms it with the same quiet precision that runs through all his wines, chasing perfume and beauty above all else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2023, that beauty comes wrapped in tension. Wild-fermented, 18 days on skins, then 18 months resting in old Slavonian and French oak foudres, it’s a wine of filigreed structure and haunting depth. Rose petals, sour cherry, orange rind and anise spill from the glass, while the palate balances brightness with a fine-boned tannin web that stretches long and savoury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuke calls Nebbiolo a variety “built for beauty” - and this release proves the point. Made in painfully small quantities, it’s a wine that rewards patience, but even now it’s an unmistakable benchmark for Australian Nebbiolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2023 Nebbiolo shows every bit of the mild and very good growing season. A more open wine than the 2022 with slightly darker fruit and lower acid making it a softer more approachable young wine. One to decant if drinking in the short term, but will continue to improve in the bottle over the next 8 to 12 years.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Luke Lambert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"2023 Lambert Nebbiolo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-lambert-nebbiolo\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2022 S.C. Pannell Sunrise 99 Grenache\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere we have yet another remarkable release from one of Australia's greatest winemakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Sunrise Grenache' comes off a single block within Steve Pannell’s Little Branch vineyard in Blewitt Springs – old bush vines planted in 1920, producing their 99th vintage in 2022. It’s a site Steve knows like the back of his hand, dry grown and rooted deep in Blewitt’s ancient sand. When he took over the block, he pruned the vines himself, working them back to balance. The payoff has been extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 season was long and cool, giving small yields and near-perfect ripeness. Steve handled the fruit the only way he knows how – by feel. Hand-picked, gently fermented, nothing added, nothing forced. Just patience, old oak, and total trust in the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is breathtaking. Bright yet layered, pure yet deep, it threads red fruit, spice and fine sandy tannins into something seamless. It’s poised, complete, and easily one of the greatest Grenaches Steve has ever made – a wine that marks a turning point not just for the vineyard, but for McLaren Vale Grenache itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In many ways, it feels as if all of the Grenache that Pannell has made over the decades has been leading up to this point.

Every parcel is treated with reverence: whole berry ferments for fragrance, open-top fermenters for texture, a mix of new and seasoned oak, and one third of the Cabernet gets the royal treatment with eight weeks on skins in a 3,500L oak cask.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a glorious wine. A wine of depth and quiet power. Dark fruit, fine tannins, just enough grip, and a savoury undercurrent that builds with every sip. It’s polished, but not flashy - in every sense a benchmark of the famous Yarra Valley Cabernet wine style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a wine destined for great things. Winemaker Sarah Crowe knocked this out of the park. It should be an essential part of any serious Australian cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 points and 2026 Cabernet \u0026amp; Blends of the Year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Classic cool-climate cabernet aromas of black cherry, blackcurrants, cedar, licorice and subtle iodine.
