    Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association Annual Report 2008 Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Association Annual Report 2008 Presidents Report Fellow Members, This will be my last report as President, as I will be stepping down at the upcoming AGM. Over the past 3 years I have also represented Mornington Peninsula on the Victorian Wine Industry Association (VWIA) and the State Governments Vintage 2010 Steering committee and Victorian Food and Wine Tourism Council. Although I have done my best to represent the interests of the MPVA, our region and Victoria in these forums they have also demanded a lot of my time. It has been a great honour to represent the MPVA and thank you for your support and encouragement. Looking back over the three years, I think that we have continued to make tremendous progress as a region and our reputation and profile continue to grow throughout Australia and overseas. Our wines demand attention wherever they are served and we are now home to some of the most exciting, sought after and respected wine brands in Australia. Jancis Robinson recently wrote in the influential Financial Times (16 February 2008); “…especially the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne with its high density of ambitious vine growers …. surely precisely the sort of region as to send a shiver down a French spine in that they fly in the face of the stereotype of Australian wine as being solely technical, big company product..” Attention is more and more being drawn to small producers and emerging wine regions that are focusing on their strengths and not attempting to be all things to all people.

  • Review of Smoke Taint in Wine: Smokederived Volatile Phenols And
    Krstic et al. Review of smoke taint in wine 537 Review of smoke taint in wine: smoke-derived volatile phenols and their glycosidic metabolites in grapes and vines as biomarkers for smoke exposure and their role in the sensory perception of smoke taint M.P. KRSTIC1, D.L. JOHNSON2 and M.J. HERDERICH2 1 The Australian Wine Research Institute,Victorian Node, Mooroolbark, Vic. 3138, Australia; 2 The Australian Wine Research Institute, Urrbrae, SA 5064, Australia Corresponding author: Dr Mark Krstic, email [email protected] Abstract In recent years, the exposure of vineyards and grapes to smoke from bushfires and controlled burn events has in some instances resulted in wines described as smoke tainted. Such wines are characterised by undesirable sensory characters described as smoky, burnt, ash, smoky bacon, medicinal and ashtray. This review summarises the knowledge about the composition of smoke from forest and grass fires, describes relationships between smoke exposure of vineyards and smoke taint in wine, and outlines strategies for managing and reducing the risk to producing smoke-affected wines. The sensitivity of grapes and vines at different phenological stages to the uptake of contaminants from smoke, especially smoke-derived volatile phenols, is outlined, and the pathways for entry and metabolic transformation of volatile phenols are discussed. The potential for translocation of phenolic contaminants within the grapevine and the differences in uptake of smoke contaminants of different grape cultivars are also discussed, along with preliminary work on dose/response relationships regarding concentration and duration of exposure and subsequent expression of smoke taint in wine. The chemical basis of smoke taint in wine is described, and the relationship between volatile phenols from combustion of wood/lignin and their glycosides, and sensory panel ratings of smoke attributes in affected wines is discussed.

  • Shiraz Mourvedre
    2014 SHIRAZ MOURVEDRE Released for the first time in 2014, the wines are made with food in mind. Soft, savoury, earthy styles with a European influence, they are a rustic style full of interesting, complex characters, made for those who love great, honest wines. Wine by Jo Nash Central & Western Victoria Wine Show Results, Winestate Magazine, March/April 2016 Gold Medal & 95 POINTS National Wine Show of Australia 2015 Gold Medal Royal Melbourne Wine Show 2015 Gold Medal Royal Adelaide Wine Show 2015 Gold Medal Royal Perth Wine Show 2015 Silver Medal International Wine & Spirit Competition 2015 Silver Medal Victorian Wine Show 2015 Bronze Medal Royal Hobart Wine Show 2015 VINTAGE INFORMATION Region Central Victoria Varietal 93% Shiraz 5% Mourvedre 2% Viognier Alcohol 14% Best Consumed 2015 – 2025 HARVEST NOTES The growing season in 2014 presented some challenges in the vineyard including frost in late 2013 and extreme heat in early 2014. Once harvesting began in late January we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fruit and the resulting wines. Yields were down but quality was up this year. Whites have good varietal character with great flavour, whilst the reds have beautiful colour and flavour intensity. WINEMAKING / VITICULTURE Fruit for the McPherson Wine Co. Shiraz Mourvedre was harvested from select vineyard sites within Central Victoria during March/April 2014. The must was fermented in static red fermenters and pumped over every eight hours for the ferment’s duration. Once the ferment was dry, the resulting wine was pressed off the skins and allowed to settle before allowing a natural secondary fermentation to commence.

  • Discovering the Wines of Australia - Jane Lopes - Articles - Guildsomm
    5/20/2020 Discovering the Wines of Australia - Jane Lopes - Articles - GuildSomm Discovering the Wines of Australia Ben Shewry moved from his home of New Zealand to Australia about 20 years ago. A young chef, he came to study, train, and learn. He was amazed by the ≈avors and textures of the native ingredients of Australia, and perplexed by the lack of interest Australians took in them. He became a great champion for these ingredients—fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices with names like lilly pilly, desert lime, quandong, lemon myrtle, and gumbi gumbi. Marron, kangaroo, emu, wallaby, and jumbuck became his proteins of choice. He helped teach the world—and perhaps most importantly, Australians—that these ingredients could be just as grand and delicious as the international ingredients and techniques that had up until then deƒned ƒne dining. In 2017, Ben Shewry hired a young(ish) American woman to run his beverage program at Attica. She had an experience with the country’s wine much like what Ben experienced years before with the native ingredients of Australia: excitement, amazement, and awe that these world-class wines were being made in Australia’s own backyard, and confusion as to why local sommeliers didn’t seem to care. In November 2016, I was ready for a change. I had been at Eleven Madison Park for two years—two years of hard work and astounding growth—and it was time for something different. My original plan was to study for my Masters and work on a writing project, but soon after I gave my notice, I was offered an opportunity to work at one of the best restaurants in Australia.
