Pinot Noir and Syrah, from a neighbouring vineyard in the Macedon Ranges. The fruit is from a failed grafting block of Pinot Noir onto Syrah/Shiraz, hence it is picked in the a single pass and the fruit is therefore blended as its being picked.

100% whole berries, tipped into a fermenter and treated like a Pinot, ie plunged once a day for 12 days, to keep bright and fresh.

After 12 days it was pressed direct to barriques.

100% Old French oak.

Malolactic ferment finished end of winter.

Matured for 6 months in oak prior to bottling.

No fining or stabilisation, however lightly filtered prior to bottling. Vegan Friendly.

Wilimee is a small family-run vineyard in the Macedon Ranges.

At an altitude of 600m, the cool climate is perfect for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

They hand pick the grapes that they grow on rare Cambrian soil, some of the oldest in Australia. The vineyard is next to a sacred quarry, once mined for its greenstone, which was used to make stone axes by the Wurundjeri people. Wilimee Moor-ing means 'Place of Stone Axe'.

Their vines were planted in 1982, making them some of the oldest in the Macedon Ranges.
