Tasting Notes
Single vineyard wine from Dixons Creek at the North end of the Yarra Valley. Spur and cane pruned 35 year old vines on shallow loam over heavy clay soils. Easterly aspect at 160m elevation.
10% whole bunches. Cold soak then wild ferment in open fermenter. Hand plunged. Old large format oak for 10 months. No fining or filtration - Winery Note
The Wanderer is the side project for Gembrook Hill winemaker, Andrew Marks. While all the fruit for Gembrook Hill comes from the small vineyard planted by his parents in the 1980s, The Wanderer wines offer Andrew the chance to explore the differing terroirs of the Yarra Valley, as well as experiment with different winemaking techniques.
His skill and intuition as a winemaker shine through in the wines, speaking clearly of their place, whilst remaining captivatingly delicious. These are wines that we'd wander a fair way for.
