Winemaker Notes
This wine combines the individual attributes and characters of each variety to give a unique blend of complexity, texture, length and persistence.
The Mourvèdre provides rich, chocolatey, earthy flavours to form the textural component of the blend. Grenache gives fragrance, brightness and delicacy. The Shiraz adds violet and black cherry flavours and contributes structure and length.

Mitchelton is the Central Victorian winery specializing in Rhone varieties, delivering varietal and blended wines sourced from distinguished vineyard sites in Central Victoria. Due to the cold winters and warm dry summers these wines deliver balance, texture and complexity. Mitchelton's objective is to produce wines from high quality fruit that are fresh and bright with clearly defined varietal and regional flavors.
Founded in 1973, the subsequent success of Mitchelton and its wines is directly attributable to the experience of Don Lewis and his extensive experimentation with varieties and sites around Central Victoria. Throughout these past three decades at Mitchelton, Don has developed an intuitive ability in harnessing the potential of Central Victoria in the Mitchelton wines. His outstanding achievements have been recognized through a spectrum of acclaim including the exclusive Jimmy Watson award for Print Shiraz and being selected as Finalist in Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine '2002 Winemaker of the Year'.
