A brand new release, one for the Riesling lovers!
Spring is finally here and we can hear the collective sigh of relief all over the Bellarine as the warmer days heat up the ground and take the chill away from the vineyard.
We have two new release wines to celebrate the beautiful weather (and the long weekend!), including our very first, estate grown Riesling which was hand harvested from our Drysdale vineyard, along with our flagship 2019 Single Vineyard Peta's Pinot Noir.
We would love you to try them! Come and visit the cellar door for a seated tasting and take home your favourites. Bookings are recommended CLICK HERE

2019 Oakdene Single Vineyard Peta's Pinot Noir Garnet in colour with a deep hue. A lifted bouquet of red fruit notes, cherry, plum and spicy notes. Rich and textured mid-palate dominated by cherry and dark plum notes. French oak and whole bunches adding a savoury element to the wine, which is complimented by the regions earthy characters. Excellent fruit weight balanced by firm acidity and fine ripe tannins. Enjoy now with food or cellar for the next 5 to 10 years. 13.7% alc $43 bottle Gold Medal, Geelong Wine Show 2021 94 points, 2022 Halliday Wine Companion, Jeni Port - 'An ambient ferment in open-top pots, smattered with 20% whole-bunch, before completion in French barriques (30% new). The result is a rich pinot with a spicy brood and pallid hue. Cherry cola, root spice and satsuma plum notes billow across a hinge of woodsy tannins, earthen scents and cardamon to turmeric-soused acidity'. 91+ points, The Wine Front, Campbell Mattinson - “A solid pinot noir with stewed cherry fruit flavours matched to notes of clove, redcurrant, woodsmoke and twig. Cirtussy, blood-orange-like acidity helps keep the brightness up though in truth there’s plenty of fragrance here and plenty of life. Firm-but-appropriate tannin is a highlight too'.
93 points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review - Deep red colour with a tint of purple and a sweet, ripe, dark-plum aroma suggesting super-ripe grapes. The palate is deep and well concentrated, with lasting flavour and tannin backbone in good support. An excellent pinot in a fuller style, drinking well now and it has a future.' |
