Dear All-
As indicated, the amount of wines available in 2022 were tiny - and they sold out within 45 minutes or so of general release. So I am sorry for those of you who have missed out.
The good news is in 2023, we made a fair bit more wine (6 barrels) - all of it Maipenrai Pinot Noir - so we will once again be releasing wine in boxes of 6. The 2023 is the coolest year we ever had at Maipenrai, and we waited to get the fruit nice and ripe, even if we did pick it at the end of April. Scheduled to be released in October 2025
For 2024, we made another 6 barrels of Maipenrai Pinot Noir, 5 barrels of Amungula Creek Pinot sourced from a Lake George vineyard, and 3 barrels of Shiraz Viognier sourced from Murrumbateman and our own vineyard. Scheduled for release in May and October 2026.
2021 Maipenrai Pinot Noir (SOLD OUT)After a long wait, we are finally ready to release our next wine, the 2021 Maipenrai Pinot Noir. It is available until sold out, which will be very fast this year due to the tiny size of the Vintage. Unfortunately, there will not be enough wine for everyone this year, [...]
Updated 27 Feb 2023 -The 2021 and 2022 vintages are both very small - we made just over 2 barrels of wine (about 750 bottles worth) in both cases, with the vine fruitfulness compromised by the smoke and drought of 2020 and bad fruit set in 2022. We expect to release these wines in September [...]
