Notes - Balgownie Estate is one of Australia’s great small vineyards located near the historic gold mining town of Bendigo in central Victoria, just 150km northwest of Victoria’s capital city, Melbourne. Here, on the rich soils of Maiden Gully, the well-known and highly regarded winemaker Stuart Anderson established the vineyards and winery in 1969. In 1999 Balgownie Estate was purchased by the Forrester family, passionate wine lovers with a determination to build on the Estate’s illustrious history. The wine is a deep red / purple colour and offers blackberry liquorice and spice on the nose with a hint of eucalyptus and pepper. The palate is full bodied with sweet blackberry and spice flavours and fine lingering tannins. Suggested cellaring 7-10 years. A fabulous food wine - drink with roast lamb, game and robustly flavoured dishes.
