Our Wines

All our wines have gradually been renamed from plain old Wantirna Estate Chardonnay etc to include the names of the four grand daughters. Added to that has been an illustration by the well-known cartoonist and artist, Michael Leunig depicting something about each of the girls’ personalities.

• The 2022 Isabella chardonnay is a beautiful balance of restraint along with good ripeness. Made in tiny amounts - just 722 bottles - the wine truely reflects the season and is a snapshot of the Wantirna Estate microclimate. A real pureness of fruit comes from the 50-60 year old vines, gives the wine intensity and excellent acidity. It is drinking beautifully now, however it will age very well for many years to come.
  Just 4 barrels made.​​
• ​​​The 2021 Lily pinot noir  With nearly 18 months in bottle the rich yet elegant Lily is really starting to show itself. The wine has developed beautifully, the oak has intergrated to become a background flavour and the fruit has really begun to sing. Juicy fruit flavours and tannins balancing the wine to the finish.
  2021 is really a lovely Lily! ​​  
• The 2021 Amelia cabernet sauvignon merlot is showing trademark Amelia elegance and finesse with a little bit extra in ripeness. The 2021 Amelia is a typical Wantirna cabernet blend. The fruit is ripe, the tannins long and the palate reflects the high quality of Cabernets from this area of Australia.  
  In a tasting line up just before bottling, Reg (who is quite restrained with his superlatives), said this is one of the best we've made. 
  Certainly it is a wine with tremendous immediate appeal and will definitely age very well 
• The 2021 Hannah cabernet franc merlot is showing lovely intense cabernet franc character along with the softness of the merlot. Subtle with lovely fruit weight balanced with ripe tannins really give the backbone to these wines. The wine is aged for 11 months in one new French barrel, and has then been bottle aged for 18months before release. A rather delicious blend of grapes. Just 282 bottles made.
