Tasting Notes
Dash Farms Vineyard sits on the South-Eastern crest of Leanganook (Mt Alexander). When standing at the vineyard looking to the South East you have a wonderful view to Geebor (Mt Macedon). It is about a 10 minute drive north of the Macedon Ranges boundary. The soil profile is decomposed granite. The base of the vineyard sits at around 450m and was planted in 1991.
Hand picked, pressed slowly and fermented in barrel, of which 20% were new. Aged on lees for 12 months before being racked and blended, then aged for a further 3 months on fine lees in tank, prior to bottling.
This wine offers aromas of lemon rind, yellow grapefruit, fresh nectarine, toasted almonds, struck match and sourdough. This is a powerful wine with layers of flavour and complexity with fresh citrus flavours leading the way. Its textural yet compact and has a long lasting flavour…….. - Winery Note.
Dilworth & Allain is a small-scale, artisanal winery founded in 2017 by winemaker Chris Dilworth and artist-winemaker Loïque Allain. Based in Leonards Hill near Daylesford, Victoria, they work with vineyards across the Macedon Ranges—farming two sites themselves—and produce exceptionally low volumes, each wine crafted with a strong sense of place.
Chris brings deep experience from winemaking stints in Australia and Burgundy, while Loïque’s background in fine arts informs both the creative approach to winemaking and the distinctive hand-designed labels. Together, they have developed a reputation for thoughtful, terroir-focused wines that combine precision with artistry.
Their range includes expressive Riesling (often made with skin contact), textural Chardonnay from old vines, and elegant Pinot Noir from the Romsey area. All are made with minimal intervention, native yeasts, and only sulphur as an additive, reflecting a philosophy of purity and authenticity.
In just a few years, Dilworth & Allain have established themselves as one of the Macedon Ranges’ most exciting new producers, celebrated for wines of energy, clarity and quiet intensity.
