  • Moonambel - Pyrenees
    2006 SYRAH MOONAMBEL - PYRENEES As a lover of Northern Rhone, I wanted to explore a style of Syrah that was less about heat and explosive fruit and more about texture, power and nuance. Moonambel has interested me for some time and having found this cooler vineyard with a south easterly aspect, I started working with the grower to achieve vineyard management and direction to support the style of fruit that we are now seeing in bottle. This vineyard provides fruit that is deep, savoury and sweet as well as finely structured syrah 2006 syrah Vineyard Grapes are sourced from the Moonambel district of the Pyrenees. This is one of the coolest regions in Victoria. Sydney Victoria Moonambel TASTING NOTES King Valley Strathbogie Melbourne Yarra Valley Geelong Colour : Medium dark red. Semi opaque.

There was Palate : Finely structured with great length and almost no disease pressure but we did drop a lot of fruit to layered tannins. Good flesh and fullness, yet avoid stress on the vines. elegant tannins. Dark, full fruit with texture and good line and length. Finishes off with Winemaking green olives and a balancing sweetness. One of the few wines that we make with the inclusion of stalks in the ferment, this wine sees about 10% stalks. Some foot stomping was carried out followed by hand plunging. The majority of this wine was pressed off after 7 days but a portion was kept on skins for an extended maceration.

  • Ovens Murray
    Ovens Murray Infrastructure Victoria is investigating infrastructure investment in regional Victoria that builds on the economic strengths of a region, or that reduces disadvantage, primarily through providing greater access to services and economic opportunities. This fact sheet is focussed on reducing disadvantage, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying framework for reducing disadvantage through infrastructure. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide evidence that will inform the problem definition for each of Victoria’s nine regions through consultation with stakeholders. The project has a specific focus on areas that experience relatively high levels of disadvantage (ranked in the bottom 30% of the index of Socio-Economic Disadvantage, SEIFA) and this fact sheet provides indicators showing poor outcomes for key demographic groups living in these areas. Infrastructure Victoria invites key stakeholders and service providers to make submissions that provide evidence on which infrastructure could make a difference in reducing disadvantage for the region.

  • Rail Freight Alliance960.39 KB
    ROAD TOLL SUBMISSION 15 Rail Freight Alliance Submission to the Victorian Parliament Economy and Infrastructure Committee The Rail Freight Alliance The Rail Freight Alliance (RFA) is made up of rural, regional and metropolitan Councils across Victoria. The Alliance membership has a strong belief that more freight on rail will add to the safety, efficiency, productivity and prosperity of all Victorians. Our Membership includes the Councils of Ararat City, Buloke, Central Goldfields, Ballarat City, City of Melbourne, City of Wodonga, East Gippsland, Latrobe City, Loddon, Gannawarra, Glenelg, Greater City of Bendigo, Greater Shepparton, Hindmarsh, Horsham Rural City, Maribyrnong City, Mildura Rural City, Moyne, Northern Grampians, Pyrenees, South Gippsland, Southern Grampians, Strathbogie, Swan Hill Rural City, Warrnambool City, West Wimmera, Wyndham City and Yarriambiack. Victoria’s Road Toll 2019 has seen a tragic increase in Victoria’s Road toll. The road toll and acquired injuries from road trauma has a horrific impact on families across Victoria. The Alliance considers that the issues relating to the road toll must be considered holistically. The focus of this submission is Transport Infrastructure. The RFA acknowledges that this is outside but not limited within the terms of reference of the inquiry. The RFA considers Transport Infrastructure and Policy setting to be a critical element in road safety and decreasing road toll and road trauma. Expected Port Growth It is estimated that the Port of Melbourne (PoM) throughput will exceed 8.7 million TEU by 2050. For the PoM to achieve its forecast growth, rail connectivity and infrastructure must be planned for immediately. The Ports of Geelong and Portland are expected to increase throughput of bulk commodities into the future.
