Overview:
Dalwhinnie, located near the small village of Moonambel in the heart of the Pyrenees region of western Victoria, is one of Victoria's oldest family-run vineyards. Dalwhinnie has been growing grapes for nearly 50 years and the 16-hectare vineyard is now fully mature. At 595 metres above sea level, Dalwhinnie is the highest and most remote of the Pyrenees district vineyards. The vineyard is located in a naturally undulating trough which falls away from the hills, forming an amphitheatre nestled into the ranges. 

Julian Langworthy Winemaker
Garnet with still a vibrant red rim, the nose is complex and full of life and the palate is fine-boned with lovely resolve. Drink now.

Critic Reviews

94 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front

“This hasn’t fleshed out yet but it’s still a gorgeous wine, the clear emphasis on line and length. Long sinewy tannins, defined fruit, succulent acidity and exotic notes of coal and box hedge and blackberry. Perfumed, vanillin, minty oak adds lift but never threatens to overwhelm; this is a fine wine.
