The Listening Station
The Listening Station is a celebration of the old, Australian ‘listening stations’ that used to track satellites across the empty, pitch-black sky of outback Australia in areas like Victoria. The wines are a homage to the cooler, vast, dark night sky, and even the grapes for the wine were picked at nighttime to reinforce this whilst retaining impressive concentration and character. A great introduction to the brilliant wines of the region.

Victoria
By the end of the 1800s, Victoria was Australia's primary wine producer until production was eradicated by the dreaded vine disease phylloxera. Following extensive planting and re-planting over the past century, Victoria today is the most diverse wine region in Australia and probably the most exciting. In the north-east corner of the state producers in Rutherglen make some of the world's best fortified Muscat wines, while around Melbourne the Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley produce elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool-climate vineyards. Further north the Great Western region is home to an Australian anomaly, sparkling Shiraz, while the Central Victoria regions of Heathcote, Bendigo and Goulburn Valley all deliver peppery, concentrated Shiraz wines. The huge variety of soils, climatic conditions and growing regions will see Victoria continue to diversify its output well into the future, with many producers looking to innovate further by experimenting with even more exotic varieties that suit their patch of dirt.

Shiraz
Shiraz is the name used for the Syrah grape in Australia, and is typically stylistically different from wines labelled Syrah from cooler regions. Deep, dark flavours of blackberry and blackcurrant, alongside notes of eucalyptus, chocolate and black pepper define Australian Shiraz, and the style has found great success in export markets for its powerful, direct nature. More recently the not-so-subtle ‘Barossa’ style has given way to wines made in a more elegant, complex fashion.
