Harvest - What was left of it!!

This morning we harvested our Sauvignon Blanc - not much fruit but the taste was sensational. We are very proud of our vintages thus far of our Sauvignon Blanc - our current 2010 vintage won Silver at the Victorian Wine Show 2010.  Three medals were awarded - one Gold and two Silver - so we were absolutely stoked to be among the elite.  Let's hope our 2011 vintage will go places too.  This is not your NZ style - it is our own Kinloch style.  Lots of aromatic flavours of lime, lychee and citrus and perfectly balanced acidity with the fruit.  Where can you taste it?  At the cellar door of course - at the Deck on High in Mansfield - at the Tea Rooms of Yarck - the Mill Inn in Mansfield, the Mansfield Regional Produce Store and the Savage Club in Melbourne.  Retail Outlets for this exciting wine :  East Melbourne General Store, Red White & Amber in Hawthorn; Marks IGA and Foodworks in Mansfield.  Do try it!

Australian Story

Malcolm Kinloch Vigneron Upper Goulburn Story by Kinloch Wines

Not only a change in attitude but also a change in altitude saw corporate high-flyer Malcom Kinloch take on a new challenge in regional Victoria.

In the late 1990s Malcolm swapped his business suit for a pair of pruning shears and leather gloves, becoming viticulturalist on his own property nestled alongside Australia's Great Dividing Range.
The snowfields of Mt Buller lie to the east giving way to grazing land in the west, and situated half way between at 400 metres above sea level is Kinloch Wines.
This picturesque property boasts a converted hay barn as its cellar door, and is the weekend hub for locals and friends to gather - food and wine is enjoyed by all and great conversation flows easily.

Kinloch Wines is now at Watermarc Restaurant in Wangaratta

We are pleased to inform our customers that you can dine at Watermarc in Wangaratta with a Kinloch Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Both quality cool climate styles that will excite the pallate. My friend Sue Crow and I lunched at Watermarc last week and enjoyed their pizzas - just sufficient for a light lunch and washed it down with an interesting Pinot Gris from the King Valley.http://www.kinlochwines.com.au/

Mary Friend 2006 Vintage

Just opened our 2006 Mary Friend Bordeaux Blend - fantastic!!!  It has the most delisious combination of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and of course a little Petit Verdot. James Halliday has rated it 91 "but it deserves better" so my friends say;  I enjoyed it with a perfectly cooked Porterhouse steak at the Deck on High in Mansfield.  The Mary Friend 2006 is available from our cellar door or via our website.  This is a special premium wine!.
