Dalwhinnie is one of Victoria’s oldest vineyards and has built an outstanding reputation for its super-premium cabernet sauvignon. In 1976, Ballarat architect Ewan Jones purchased a swathe of land near the village of Moonambel in the Pyrenees region of Western Victoria and named it ‘Dalhinnie’ after the town in Scotland from where his ancestors hailed. After spending the best part of three years clearing the land, the first vines were planted: one block of shiraz and one of cabernet sauvignon. Today Ewan’s son David and his wife, Jenny, run the 16-hectare property. After 40 years of growing grapes, the vineyard is fully mature, producing true varietal fruit characters with great concentration of flavours. At 595m above sea level, Dalwhinnie is the highest and most remote of the Pyrenees district vineyards. The 2013 vintage bouquet picks up sandalwood, black berries and cedar. The wine is full bodied and rich with superb grainy oak tannins.
