Oggi, which means “today” in Italian, is something of an annual experiment. As chief winemaker Rollo puts it, “Oggi is our opportunity to show people what we are trialling in the winery from day-to-day and year-to-year.” The 2015 Oggi is a blend of three traditional Italian varietals: Fiano, Arneis and Vermentino. Made very similarly to a red wine, with extended gross lees maturation, the wine has textural complexity and generous body. The nose, palate and finish are bursting with crisp orchard fruit, honeysuckle and beeswax. Each bottle bares a unique label, reflecting the individuality of its contents. Drink now to 2020.

Scented and fragrant, there is a definite suggestion of the Rhône here. Much more elegant than a Barossa blockbuster, this has deep, red and black berry fruit with a savoury touch and a hint of smoked meat. The tannins are present but smooth and the wine has lovely freshness. Herbal notes of the garrigue (or the scented Aussie bush) come through on the fine, long, complex finish.

Circe’s Hillcrest Road now leads Pinot Noir production in the area – which is no mean feat, given the level of competition. It is sourced from a 1.2-hectare cool northeast-facing site planted in 1993, about 2.5 miles from the coast. With only 20 hl/ha making it to fermentation, low yield is the main weapon in the quality arsenal. For the 2016 vintage, fermentation was 100 percent whole bunch with six days foot-stomping. This considered winemaking delivers a wine of standout sophistication – offering delicate wood smoke and spice on the nose and black cherry on the palate. This is a deep and complex wine meant to be savoured slowly or reserved to evolve in the cellar for years to come.

Breaking the mould, this carefully crafted and complex wine is a respectful nod to Jura’s Vin Jaune. With an ageing period of four years under flor yeast the resulting flavour is nutty and perfumed with a saline tang like a classic fino sherry. Despite this distinctive ageing process, the Savagnin also still shines through and provides refreshing acidity, citrus fruit and a creamy texture at its core.
Unfined and unfiltered fun. Best served cool but not chilled.

2013 was the best vintage yet for Circe, with consistently warm temperatures ensuring even ripening and healthy fruit. It is hardly surprising therefore that winemaker Dan Buckle has made a standout single vineyard wine from the Hillcrest Road vineyard this year. Extremely restrained and very Burgundian in style, this wine is defined by its savoury complexity. It is vastly different from what you might expect from an Australian Pinot Noir in almost every sense. The wine is pale in colour and delicate, almost pretty in style (typical for Mornington) yet it is also structured and conceals a power and a concentration that comes through on the mid-palate and remains evident on the extremely long and beautifully fresh finish. The nose and palate display subtle notes of hedgerow, smoke and bacon fat which complement the macerated ripe red berry notes, and the tannins are exceptionally fine. This is a must-try for Pinot-philes.
