This is such a great glass of wine! It's a very rich gold in glass, and slightly cloudy due to being bottled unfiltered. On the nose there's a mix of honey, banana, vanilla, cream and white peach. It might seem OTT rich, but there's a line of fresh acidity running through the wine, keeping things balanced. It finishes with a flavour of orange cream ad almond pastry - very luxurious!

An iconic vineyard for many years, the Warner Vineyard only began releasing wines under their own label in 2012. Already well known thanks to wine icons like Giaconda and Jamsheed sourcing their fruit, now the premium fruit is enjoying success under the name of its growers. The vineyard is situated approximately 6km from Beechworth on the Wangaratta Road, and is planted to varieties most commonly associated with the Rhone Valley in France - Shiraz, Marsanne and Roussanne. They thrive on the granite soils and produce complex wines filled with character. These days the wines are actually made by famed Jamsheed winemaker Gary Mills, an ex-baseball player who turned a love of wine into a career. He has used the Warner Vineyard Shiraz for years in his own wines, and now coaxes the full range into bottle. The style is slightly different to the Jamsheed style, with more emphasis on texture and weight, but the wines share the imprint of the vineyard - always a sign of quality when the terroir can shine through. We look forward to seeing more of these intriguing wines in the future.
