Taste The Best Sauvignon Blanc of The Year, Gembrook Hill Saturday 31st October 12pm-2pm

Join Andrew Marks from Gembrook Hill this Saturday on a tasting.
In 1983, Ian and June Marks ended a long search through almost every wine region in Victoria when they found their vineyard site. It has views of Mt Donna Buang, the Warburton ranges as a backdrop, red soil and a coveted north-easterly aspect. Gembrook Hill was part of the “second wave” of Yarra Valley vignerons and is now one of the oldest vineyards in the Upper Yarra sub-region.
The wines are crafted with an old-world mindset and are regarded as some of the most outstanding examples of their variety in Australia. Most of the vines are now over twenty years old. The chardonnay was a pacesetter for the Yarra Valley, restrained yet complex. The sauvignon blanc, recently awarded Halliday’s Best Sauvignon Blanc, carries characteristics found in Sancerre and is more austere than typical Australian and New Zealand examples. The pinot noir has the elegance of old-world Burgundy.
“Wine is made in the vineyard.” The cool southern Yarra Valley climate gives a high-acid, long-lived style, with elegant, refined fruit and balanced structure.
