" Has retained good hue; the bouquet is fragrant and complex, with spicy nuances to the black fruits; the medium-bodied palate opens with refined blackberry fruit and closes with firm, savoury tannins; time in front of it for those tannins to soften a little. Rating 95pts "

Intense
For people who enjoy big, bold wines that really pack a punch. For many who enjoy similar wines it’s a case of the bigger the better!
Located in central Victoria, Mitchelton's first vines were planted in the early 1970s after Australian wine industry legend Colin Preece identified an old patch of grazing land known as Blackwood Park as having great winemaking potential. The Gouldburn River surrounds the vineyard on three sides, shaping the unique environment and climate of Mitchelton.
Not only had the land never seen vines before, but the company's decision to focus on Rhone varietals - including whites like Marsanne and Viognier - was almost unheard of at the time. This innovation combined with excellent site selection has been Mitcheltons’ calling card ever since.
'home grown', Mitchelton crafts wines which are expressive of Central Victoria's best, and the wineries rich heritage with Rhone varietals.
