Known for the elusiveness of its wines in the marketplace, the winery has cult status with the portfolio only released to an exclusive mailing list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wendouree property is more than 100 years old and its current owners, Tony and Lita Brady, have run the estate since 1974. The original stone winery at the estate is still used for production and Wendouree's 12 hectare (30 acre) vineyard is planted to old vine Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Mataro, and Muscat of Alexandria – most of which was planted in the late 1890s to early 1900s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wendouree vineyard is dry farmed and grapes are handpicked. In the winery, wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts in open-top, stainless-steel fermenters. Post-ferment, French oak barrels are sourced for aging for up to 12 months. The winery produces around 2000 cases annually of varietal and blended wines including Shiraz Mataro, Shiraz Malbec, and Cabernet Malbec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 1995 (Centenary vintage)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Mourvedre - Syrah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Clare Valley \/ South Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51056308977979,"sku":"SK85051254","price":199.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/1995WendoureeShirazMataroClareValley.png?v=1777596722","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/1995-wendouree-shiraz-mataro-750ml","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
