There are but two winemakers who can lay claim to a staggering four Jimmy Watson Trophy victories. Wolf Blass was the man behind the label. John Glaetzer was the man behind Wolf Blass. While working for Wolf, Glaetzer was moonlighting on his own brand, applying the same extravagance of technique to the pick of Langhorne Creek fruit. Perfection in the form of black bramble fruit, muscular yet affable tannins, all framed by the luxury of ebony oak. Aspirants of the great Black Blass Label fables of 1974, 1975 and 1976, are privately advised to avail themselves of John's Blend, Cabernet or Shiraz. Crafted from the same parcels, in the same way, by the same hands, that collaborated to create, the most.. Timeless mystique of langhorne creek»

Bright pale straw colour. The nose is fine with spring apple blossom, nettles, cut green leafiness and hints of red currant. In the mouth it rolls mid to light in weight, has crunchy minerality and flinty acid, fresh grassy aromas and a continuation of the red currant/ green apple and apple seed flavours. The palate minerality gives it some commonality with old world styles although the fruit is fresh and primary.

Port Phillip Estate

Port Phillip Estate is planted to 8.7 hectares of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc. It was established in 1987, and has rapidly gained a reputation in the industry for producing exceptional cool climate wines, brought about by attention to detail and the impeccably maintained vineyard. In this regard, advantage is taken of the site's unique 'terroir' and the essential ingredients comprising the right soil, the right grapes for that soil, the right climate, and the know-how of the winegrower and winemaker.

Good wine is the result of a balanced vine, controlled yields and quality fruit. Under the management of third generation viticulturist Doug Wood, the Port Phillip Estate viticulture program produces low yield, high quality crops that display the flavour intensity of this exceptional site. The vines are all cane pruned and shoot thinned by hand. The handpicked Sauvignon Blanc fruit is whole bunch pressed. One third of the juice is transferred to old French oak barrels for fermentation with the remainder going to stainless steel tanks. The wine is fermented naturally without yeast additions. Once fermentation has ceased the wine is sulphured to prevent malolactic fermentation. Wine is assembled and bottled at approximately six months of age.

Chardonnay is handpicked, whole bunch pressed and transferred to new and used French oak. The wine is fermented naturally without yeast additions. Once fermentation has ceased, the wine is sulphured to prevent malolactic fermentation. Our desire is to retain all the freshness of the naturally occurring acidity. The wines are not battonaged resulting in a finer more elegant wine. Up to 30 per cent new oak is used, the remainder being one to three year old barrels.

All of the Pinot Noir fruit is hand picked and 100 per cent de-stemmed into open vat fermenters. The fruit is chilled to approximately 8-10 degrees and then allowed to warm up ambiently. Spontaneous fermentation occurs between four to eight days later. Cap management is via hand plunging as well as a computer controlled mechanical plunger. Once the fermentation is complete (between days 14 to 20), the wine is pressed and transferred to French oak barrels. Up to 30 per cent new wood is used and the wine is bottled after 12 months. The Morillon Pinot Noir is a specially selected parcel of fruit. This wine is made exactly the same way, but it is allowed to mature in oak for another six months.

All of the Shiraz fruit is hand picked and 100 per cent de-stemmed into open vat fermenters. The fruit is chilled to approximately 8-10 degrees and then allowed to warm up ambiently. Spontaneous fermentation occurs between four to eight days later. Cap management is via hand plunging as well as a computer controlled mechanical plunger.

The winemaking at Port Phillip estate builds on the superb cool ripening conditions of Mornington to craft beautifully flavoured Burgundian offerings such as the Pinot and the fleshy buttery Chardonnays. Winemakers Dianne and Giorgio Gjergja have built on the reputation of the scarce offerings from this tiny winery to present limited editions of excellently balanced boutique wines.

"Port Phillip Estate is a lovely place. You approach it via a winding driveway with vistas of rolling hills, the distant sea and towering trees framing the perfectly manicured vineyard. The cellar door that looks across the vineyard is a bit like a country general store, very atmospheric, homely and friendly. Port Phillip’s wines are excellent and have a great record at wine shows, particularly the richly constructed, ageworthy Shiraz and Pinot Noir." Ralph Kyte-Powell
