The story of the GAJA Winery can be traced to a singular, founding purpose: to produce original wines with a sense of place which reflect the tradition and culture of those who made it. This philosophy has inspired five generations of impeccable winemaking. It started over 150 years ago when Giovanni Gaja opened a small restaurant in Barbaresco, making wine to complement the food he served. In 1859, he founded the Gaja Winery, producing some of the first wine from Piedmont to be bottled and sold outside the region. Since that time, the winery has been shaped by each generation’s hand, notably that of Clotilde Rey, Angelo Gaja’s grandmother. Her passion for uncompromising quality influenced and informed Angelo Gaja. Through Angelo, these values have become the cornerstone of the GAJA philosophy and are engrained in every aspect of wine production\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1961, Angelo Gaja began his mission of bringing this great winery to an even higher level. He was the first to use barriques, 225-liter French oak barrels. Under his direction, GAJA pioneered the production of single-vineyard designated wines and was the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc varietals in Piedmont. He was also instrumental in elevating the native Nebbiolo grape to world-class esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Angelo Gaja is joined by the fifth generation of the GAJA family – his daughters Gaia and Rossana and his son Giovanni. Together they continue to advance the winery’s legacy. To fully realize their vision, all GAJA wines are produced exclusively from grapes grown in estate-owned vineyards, including 250 acres in Piedmont’s Barbaresco and Barolo districts as well as estates in Pieve Santa Restituta (Montalcino) and Ca’Marcanda (Bolgheri). It is from these storied vineyards, and their terroir – the combination of soil, weather and vines that grow upon them, that GAJA wines reveal their true heart and soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970641674555,"sku":"SK91389107","price":225.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/2023GajaRossj-BassLangheChardonnay750ml_20362e65-54c5-4f73-bcc2-a80d3702d3ee.png?v=1781240915"},{"product_id":"1991-moss-wood-cabernet-sauvignon-750ml","title":"1991 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__text-section\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanted in 1969, Moss Wood is an important, founding estate of the Margaret River wine region, located in the northern sub–region of Wilyabrup, Western Australia.

During late January to March in the lead up to harvest, gully breezes rise up from the Valley floor to cool the canopy.

It has been pushed down into the reaches of the Shiraz, which is a very good thing, as its propensity for slinky-like bounce and spiral needs some limiting. This is insanely complex yet also balanced. Charry oak frames the wines from all sides, but like the gravity pull on the earth from the sun, the oak is drawn inexorably inward.

In the Penfolds tradition of trial and innovation our winemakers embarked on a project in 1995 titled 'RWT' - meaning 'Red Winemaking Trial' - to create a new Australian Shiraz integrating the rich, generous flavours of Barossa Valley Shiraz with the finesse of tightly-grained French oak. The result is a fine wine of great elegance and depth of flavour. RWT is second only to Grange in the Penfolds Shiraz hierarchy, although the two wines are stylistically different. RWT expresses Shiraz more openly than Grange. This is partly a function of the grapes themselves and partly a result of maturation in French oak, rather than stronger, sweeter-flavoured American oak.

The result is a fine wine of great elegance and depth of flavour. RWT is second only to Grange in the Penfolds Shiraz hierarchy, although the two wines are stylistically different.

During late January to March in the lead up to harvest, gully breezes rise up from the Valley floor to cool the canopy. This element, combined with a ridge line to the west which protects the vines from the late afternoon sun, prolongs ripening and enables the fruit to achieve a remarkable level of flavour intensity, whilst retaining good natural acidity.

Dry grown, the vines lie in free draining, dark sandy loam soils and benefit from cooling afternoon breezes that wind their way up the old watercourse. Ripening is slow and gradual, and hand picking of this site typically heralds the nearing end of each Greenock Creek vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preceding 2016 winter and spring was one of the wettest on record. The resulting wet soils, combined with a cooler than average spring and early summer meant the vines grew slowly but healthily with excellent canopy development and good bunch weight\/numbers. Barossa experienced generally average temperatures through summer, and March saw the beginning of an Indian summer, which lasted until late April when most of the fruit for Greenock Creek was harvested. This was perfect for consistent ripening of grapes, with good colour development and natural acidity being retained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is hand-picked, and fermented for 6-7 days in a single open top slate fermenter in the winery adjacent the vineyard. The wine is transferred to 100% French oak (30% new) hogsheads to mature for 2 years. The wine was then bottle matured for three years before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose there are very floral aromatics, along with kirsch liqueur, violets, choc mint and cranberry. The palate is dense and firmly structured, resplendent with rich kirsch\/ cherry liqueur, savoury hints and long lines of toasty oak tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellaring recommendation: 15 years plus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970666545467,"sku":"SK83900071","price":299.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/GreenockCreekRoennfeldtRoadCabernetSauvignon_c1de6a3c-e658-41ec-a41e-902b4055fce7.png?v=1781242457"},{"product_id":"2018-domaine-michel-noellat-et-fils-chambolle-musigny","title":"2018 Domaine Michel Noellat et Fils Chambolle-Musigny 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComing from two parcels in Chambolle (Les Foucheres next to 1er cru Leborniquees and Combottes next to 1er cru Les Planets). \u003c\/span\u003eThis wine comes from 65 yr old vines vinified in 30% new oak for 18 months.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Drinks like many 1er crus with beautiful minerality to marry the rich flavors of cherry and shaped by firm but fine tannins on the youthfully austere, dusty and well-balanced wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrinking Window: 2021-2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRed Wine – Savory and Classic \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePinot Noir \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePairs well with Duck, Goose and Game Birds \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47970673361211,"sku":"SK77238981","price":219.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/DomaineMichelNoellatetFilsChambolle-Musigny_3ef3108a-07e3-46a2-9415-35533acac380.png?v=1781573096"},{"product_id":"2017-michel-noellat-chambolle-musigny-750ml","title":"2017 Domaine Michel Noellat et Fils Chambolle-Musigny 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"_3ziulaHePS\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShiny ruby colour, very refined nose with floral notes of rose petal and peony.

July was the driest since the serious drought of 2003. Spring was mild with few frost events; however, flowering and fruit set were affected by wet drizzly weather in mid to late November, leading to only average yields. Summer was also surprisingly mild with below average temperatures from southerlies off the ocean in January and only two short heat events, at New Year and at the end of February. This provided for slow ripening which allowed for intense fruit flavours, high colour figures, high acidity and mature tannins. Rainfall leading up to vintage was above average, with the heaviest rainfall events in late January and late February, which tied in well with the natural physiology of the dry-grown vines; ie, keeping leaves active at veraison and ripening. Temperatures were mild during harvest through March, warming to an Indian summer in April, allowing for a long window of picking and amazing maturities with the red varieties. Shiraz was a standout variety showing great purity and spice, colour, intensity and strikingly mature tannins.
