Greg Melick embarked on the prodigal road to gambling and booze as a mere teenager, after winning the daily double at Werribee and spending the lot on good red wine. He ultimately returned to the straight and narrow, achieving the rank of ADF Major General, Senior Law Counsel, Master Wine Judge and Officer of Australia AO. Melick now grows his own, he remains besotted with les grands vignobles de Bourgogne, the illustrious Pinot Noir of Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune. There are few places in the world, more akin to the 1er Grand Cru style of Pinot Noir, than the temperate pastures along Tasmania's River Derwent. It was here in 2002, amongst the woodland idylls of the apple isle, that Melick established Pressing Matters, a meagre four hectares of superior European clones Pinot Noir. Mr Melick has come full circle, this time exchanging his wager in good wine, to win the highly coveted Royal Melbourne James Halliday Trophy for the finest Pinot Noir in Australia...

Underground are inspired by the possibilities of unexplored combinations, Underground seek to express the fundamental qualities of the grape

Underground Winemakers was established in 2006 at Mt Eliza by former T’Gallant employees, Adrian Hennessy, Peter Stebbing, and Jonothan Stephens. At that time the venture had no resources other than a collective wine industry experience of over 30 years and a resourceful, hands on determination. The vision was simple; source the right grapes and make quality, approachable wines which are true to style and expressive of variety. Underground take pride in their hands on approarch to vitticulture and winemaking, offering a range of individual, expressive wines which are true to variety and an honest reflection of the land.

Underground

Following this philosophy, Underground is not restricted to a single region. The Mornington Peninsula provides Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while Central and Northern Victoria supply Durif, Shiraz, Cabernet and Brown Muscat. All wines are made and bottled at the Mt Eliza Winery, giving Underground complete control over winemaking input. Packaging and presentation of the entire range is contemporary, designed to reflect both the quality of the wine and its individual character.
