Seasonal Notices
Spring 2024
- Renowned wine reviewer Mike Bennie scored our 2020 Monopole a whopping 95 points for the Halliday Wine Companion — this wine is now almost sold out, with only 100 bottles left.
- Our 2021 Whisson Lake White Label is also selling fast, with only 150 bottles remaining. This vintage was so low-cropping that we didn’t make a Monopole. Instead, our best grapes went into this White Label.
- Our latest wine dinner at Chianti was a great success. We have plans to host more, so please keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram pages for details.
- An unusually warm and dry winter has left our 15-acre vineyard drier than usual, but the vines have been well cared for over winter and our dams are full. We're in a better position than many growers in other parts of South Australia.
Winter 2024
- Three new-release Pinot Noirs have hit our online shop: the 2020 Monopole Pinot Noir (our most premium wine, with only 320 bottles made), 2021 White Label Pinot Noir and 2022 Black Label Pinot Noir.
- Just 400 bottles of the 2021 White Label Pinot Noir are available (no Monopole was made during this vintage, so our highest-quality grapes are inside this White Lable), so be quick to avoid missing out.
- Tom Kline from Wine Pilot recently reviewed our three new releases. He gave our 2020 Monopole 96+ points, our 2021 White Label 95 points, and our 2022 Black Label 93 points.
- Our Pinots are now being sold by Langtons – one of Australia's most prestigious fine wine merchants.
Autumn 2024
- Andrie will be a Pioneering Pinot Masterclass panellist during the internationally acclaimed Tasting Australia food and wine festival. We’d love to see you at the festival on Saturday 11 May at 6pm.
- According to the Adelaide Advertiser, Nigella Lawson recently enjoyed a bottle of Whisson Lake Pinot at Fugazzi Bar, paired with a tomahawk steak. Yum!
- Our current-release wines are almost sold out. Only 50 bottles of our 2019 Monopole and 100 bottles of our 2020 White Label remain.
- New release wines will be coming in June, so keep an eye on our socials and subscribe to our newsletter to ensure you don’t miss out.
Summer 2023/2024
- Later this year, a royal winemaker and viticulturist from Liechtenstein will spend 4 to 5 weeks working and learning about our traditional Burgundian approach to winemaking.
- We only have 100 bottles remaining of our 2019 Monopole. This is our most premium label and comes from 38-year-old unirrigated vines.
- Our 2020 Le Gris de Noir was featured in the Sydney Morning Herald’s Christmas drinks gift guide. We now only have six bottles left if you’re keen to try it.
- An unusually cold and wet summer has impacted fruit set on our vines. We’re anticipating very low yields for our 2024 vintage.
Spring 2023
- Now’s the time to order for Christmas! Two of our latest release wines are almost sold out and a third new release is perfect for drinking now.
- Sales for our 2020 Le Gris de Noir and our 2021 Black Label Pinot Noir have been exceptional – we have 54 bottles of Le Gris de Noir left, and only 38 bottles of our Black Label.
- After a few years in the cellar, our 2020 White Label Pinot Noir is drinking very nicely. The flavours and texture have integrated and are working harmoniously together. We definitely recommend snapping up a bottle or two for the Christmas table.
