Winemaker Notes
Made from a blend of Shiraz, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon grown at Water Wheel's Memsie vineyard on clay soil rich with limestones. The wine has a dark cherry colour and a powerful nose with spice and aniseed characters combining with plum and cloves.
The palate is rich, complex and full. There are strong spicy clove flavours up front followed by plums and a Christmas pudding type flavour of concentrated fruits. It has great length and persistence with hints of vanillin oak on the finish. The 2002 Memsie is ready to drink now and will cellar for the short term. Try it with a wide variety of red meats and pasta.

The present Water Wheel operation is the brainchild of Peter Cumming whose family have long been established as successful growers of tomatoes and cherries around Bridgewater-on-Loddon to the north-west of Bendigo in central Victoria. Peter studied winemaking at Roseworthy, and after a few excellent years as winemaker for Hickinbotham at the old Anakie vineyard near Geelong, threw himself boots and all into the Water Wheel business. His driving ambition as a relatively inexperienced winemaker was to capture as much flavor on the palate of his wines as he possibly could, precisely the edge that Water Wheel still retains over so many of its competitors.
