THE CONCONGELLA NURSERY BLOCK Below is a list of grape varieties planted in the 1860’s by Henry Best and his family in the Nursery Block. The vines, sourced from early growers Trouette and Blampied at St Peters Vineyard Great Western, and possibly from the Geelong region, were planted at random throughout the block. Within the collection, believed to be the most extensive pre-phylloxera plantings in Australia and possibly the world, there remain some still unidentified varieties. Excerpts from “Our Vineyards” The Ararat Advertiser, June 7th 1870 “Mr Best is of the opinion and his determination is to produce nothing but wines of the very best description: with this view he has spared no expense in procuring wines of the choicest description. In his grounds may be found almost every known variety, and if by chance he should hear of some particular one which is not already among his collection, he leaves no stone unturned until he has procured it.” By 1870 he had some 48,000 vines. He made separate wine from each variety. By the 1890’s Hermitage (Shiraz), Millers Burgundy (Meunier) and Malbeck (Dolcetto) were considered among the best varieties for this area. Today the vines are hand-picked, first the white varieties, then the red varieties. Wine is not produced every year as it depends entirely on the season. The wines, abundant in fruit character, stand alone as a definitive style expressing the Nursery Block’s individual components.

Vinodhan Veloo Wolfhart Knipp
By Vinodhan Veloo Head Sommelier & Wolfhart Knipp Assistant Sommelier The wines argon be alright! The Coravin® was introduced to the world in 2004 by American inventor Greg Lambrecht. He had set out to create a device that would allow its user to have a glass of wine from a bottle without ever opening it, keeping the rest of the wine from deteriorating. With a background in the medical technologies sector and also nuclear engineering, Lambrecht was well equipped in approach- ing such a task. The Coravin® works by driving a medical-grade needle through the cork of the bottle and then injecting 99.9% pure argon gas. The pressure created by the buildup of gas in the bottle forces the wine out through the Coravin®. Once the wine is served, the needle slides back out and the cork closure will re-seal itself. The inert nature of the argon gas in the bottle keeps the wine protect- ed from deterioration and is good to hold for even a few years! We use the Coravin® to access all the wines that we serve by-the- glass, as well as the wines on our pairing. We are confident that every glass of wine we serve to you will be as good as the first one! Beverage Pairing Mostly Mavericks WINE Go on a little journey around the world with our sommeliers who will showcase wines from lesser-known parts of the world, made with mostly in- digenous grape varieties. The wines of this flight are all by artisanal and boutique winemakers who have come from various backgrounds to produce wines of the highest quality, with also the highest regard for the environment and traditions.
