Ampelus; (Latin) a personification of the grapevine and lover of the god of wine, Dionysus. These wines extend this personification back to the bottle, reflecting traditional techniques and the vineyard in which they are grown.
So far, the Ampelus range is a three wine showcase of Hunter Valley Chardonnay, a Saignée produced Rosé of Shiraz and Pinot Noir and our ceramic amphora-matured Argilla Syrah.
Ampelus; (Latin) a personification of the grapevine and lover of the god of wine, Dionysus. A powerful yet complex Hunter Valley Chardonnay.
Introducing our Saignée Shiraz Pinot Noir. The first of a new rosé wine that we will be producing moving forward made from bleeding (saignée) juice from grapes from our finest vine blocks to create a textural, complex wine.
The pinnacle of our Mount View Estate, fruit taken from vine selections from the three oldest blocks on the site. Concentrated blueberry & black cherry fruits and framed by earth and graphite. The blocks were handpicked, manually sorted then fermented together before maturation in a Vin et Terre sandstone 'Gres' Jarre without finings or filtration.
