Vintage 2012

As we look out to green paddocks and dams filled to the brink we can’t believe we have just left summer. How different from other years when the dams were almost dry. The farm is lush! Late February to early March we had 40% of our rainfall in a week!! This is not the kind of dumping you want at vintage time. We were out there harvesting at double speed to beat the rain, and we just made it! Growing grapes and wine making has plenty of natural drama, rain & storms causing major blackouts in the middle of crushing grapes, and then there’s the man made, the spanner that turned up in the must pump adding an extra 6 long hours to the job at hand! The big rain has created havoc on grapes this season as it did last year. Wood Park being situated at the northern end of the King Valley has benefited from earlier ripening. We managed to get our fruit through a cooler summer and pick at optimum ripeness, full of flavour’s. Overall vintage for 2012 was extremely successful!! We very thankfully survived the big wet. The wines at this early stage are looking great! The standout so far is the Tempranillo, rich and dark at such a tender age but still about 2 years away from release. All the reds seem to have exceptional colour and the whites good natural acidity and lively flavour spectrum’s. White wines soon to be released are the Monument Lane Roussanne 2010, Whitland’s Pinot Gris 2012 and the Wild’s Gully Sweet Harvest 2012. In the red’s the 2009 Kneebone’s Gap Shiraz, 2009 Cabernet/Shiraz, 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2010 Whitland’s Pinot Noir and the Wild’s Gully Rosso 2012. Our newest release wines being enjoyed now are the Wild’s Gully Tempranillo 2010, Forgotten Patch Sangiovese 2010 and the Premium Reserve Shiraz 2009. Other favourite’s include our 2010 Meadow Creek Chardonnay, The Kiln houses Semillon 2010 and our ever popular Preservative Free and Vegan Friendly wines, Classic Dry Red & Classic Dry White. So here’s, cheers to another successful season and as the Spanish would say… “Disfrutar del vino”, enjoy the wine!!

Serious Wine

Seasons greetings from the team at Wood Park. We have some serious wines being released in the next couple of months. Our superdooper special reserve shiraz has made it into the bottle. It is awaiting labels, wax and boxes. The Home Block Viognier and the Monument Lane Rousanne have spent 6 months in oak, are days away from bottling, and they are going to be fantastic! On the accolades front, the Winestate magazine new release tasting was held recently. Wood Park were awarded on four of our wines. The 2011 Heavenly Moscato, 2009 Meadow Creek Chardonnay and 2009 Wilds Gully Shiraz Cab all got three stars and our 2009 Kneebones Gap Shiraz got three and a half. The Kneebones Gap Shiraz will be released soon but the other three are available now at our online shop.

Hi Folks Our annual wine dinner was on Saturday night and was a raging success. A fun night was had by all with some very “tired” people the next day. Long weekend next weekend and the Wangaratta jazz festival is on again. On Monday we are having jazz on the verandah at the cheese factory. A perfect opportunity to relax for the afternoon with a glass of Wood Park wine while listening to music from The Night Owls. Hope to see you there. On the wine side of things we have our 2010 Rose’ on special at the moment. A beautiful crisp dry wine with just a hint of strawberry its perfect as the weather warms up. It’s only $ 10 a bottle or $100 for a case. Get in quick as it is selling fast That’s all from us for now See you soon.
