Jim Jim Sauvignon Blanc  2007

The 'Jim Jim' is a small mountain, elevation 750m, just near the famous Hanging Rock in the Macedon Ranges Wine Region of Victoria. Our vineyard sits on the slopes of the 'Jim Jim' and lends its name to out flagship white table wine - The Jim Jim Sauvignon Blanc

The vineyard is cold by world viticultural standards, producing wines that have a lot in common with the cooler regions of France and New Zealand and bearing little similarity to those of the warmer parts of Australia where this variety is often grown.

Our highly sought after Sauvignon Blanc is an early ripening variety that has distinctive grassy, herbaceous characters when grown in cool climates.
Our Jim Jim Sauvignon Blanc is 100% Estate grown and bottled.

Jim Jim Pinot Gris  2007

2007 Hurry stocks are limited!

Venezia-Giulia region of Italy. A mutation of Pinot Noir, the grape takes its name from the comparatively grey appearance of the fruit. The grape skin colour ranges from greyish blue to brown-pink; sometimes the skins appear quite dark, sometimes very pale. For this reason the wine sometimes takes on a pink hue.
Previous vintages produced a wine reminiscent of the German Grauburgunder style which is very crisp and dry with floral and mineral characteristics.

Tarzali Riesling  2006

"Since building the Hanging Rock Winery and setting off on the path of sparkling wine and Heathcote Shiraz, I have diverged from my love of great riesling, and lamented that I did not have a great vineyard to work with. This was until my cousin, David Ross, retired and told me that it was time to plant the vineyard that he and his wife Pauline had been dreaming of. As a result ‘Tarzali Riesling’ was born. ‘Tarzali’ is at Warrenbayne, at the northern end of the Strathbogie Ranges around 85km north of the Mount Helen Vineyard... " - John Ellis Winemaker.

The Poppet Head Chardonnay  2006

Many vineyards supplying our winery are in areas that were a focus of the gold rush of the mid to late 19th century and thus the inspiration for the name ‘Poppet Head’. The poppet head was a tower-like lifting structure built over the top of a mine shaft, enabling miners to get the quartz and rock out of the mine to the surface.

Poppet Head Chardonnay is predominantly sourced from premium Victorian wine regions including: Macedon Ranges, Yarra Valley and The Strathbogie Ranges.
