Our Philosophy

Panton Hill Sauvignon Blanc 2008 - $22

Cellaring excellent to drink now or in a few years

This premium Sauvignon Blanc has a beautiful nose of Tropical White Peach and Citrus fruit. The silky palate reflects the nose with added mineral flavours and a long finish.

Inviting as an aperitif and perfectly suited to a wide range of foods from poultry and seafood dishes to Asian cuisine.

Panton Hill Chardonnay 2006 - $25

Cellaring 2-12 years, Optimal drinking 2008-2016

2006 produced another wine with intense varietal character. This wine has all the complexity and fruit found in the 2004 vintage, along with a beautiful crispness carrying on into the long creamy finish. Try this with cheeses, seafood or maybe a nice creamy Spaghetti Carbonara.

Panton Hill Pinot Noir 2006 - $28

Cellaring for 3 to 10 years, Optimal Drinking 2010 -2014

Our 2006 Pinot Noir has been produced using the process of carbonic maceration and whole bunch fermentation with wild yeast, first employed in France in the 1930’s. The result is a soft, fruity style exhibiting cherry and plum aromas mingled with earthy, forest floor notes. These lead beautifully into a rich, complex and velvety palate which is further enhanced with a fine balance of old oak and spice. Try this with a good Brie, Camembert or Duck.

Panton Hill Cabernet Franc 2004 - $25 - limited stock on request

Cellar 6 to 16 years
Optimal drinking 2010-2016

This wine was made from 100% Cabernet Franc grown on the poorest, most rocky part of the vineyard. This has produced grapes of intense flavor and a wine with aromas of forest berries, particularly raspberries, black currents and flowers. The palate is intense with flavors of raspberries and violets. The texture is velvety and the finish long and lingering.

Panton Hill Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot-Franc 2004 Reserve - $45

Cellaring 5-15 years, Optimal Drinking, 2011-2017

Similar in character to the 2005 vintage, but with the increased depth and velvety smoothness that Panton Hill Bordeaux blends gracefully achieve with age.

Panton Hill Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot-Franc 2005 - $28

Cellaring 5-15 years, Optimal Drinking, 2012-2018

This drought year Cabernet-Merlot-Franc blend is bursting with rich dark berry fruit perfectly balanced with smooth, well-weighted tannins. The palate is complex and lingering and seems to go on forever. This wine can be drunk now, but will continue to develop gracefully for many years in the bottle. Try this with Osso Bucco or a rich stew.

Stockbrokers Shiraz 2005 - $25

Cellar 3 to 12 years
Optimal drinking 2009-2015

This beautifully balanced wine has a deep, rich palate of black cherries and chocolate. This interweaves seamlessly with the smooth tannins that give this wine its velvety mouth feel. Great length and good complexity culminate in a soft, spicy finish. An excellent partner to beef or game dishes and mature cheeses. Don’t think of eating a steak without it.

Autumn Muscat 2004 - $20

Cellaring will not substantially improve this wine.
Made to drink within the next few years.

This is a delightful, unfortified, light dessert wine with the luscious, intense flavor of the Muscat of Alexandria grape. The wine is low in alcohol (10.5%) and unwooded. Its gentle fruity, sweetness leads into a crisp and marvelously clean finish. Chill before drinking. Excellent with cheese and fruit platters, freshly smoked mussels and desserts; or you might drink it on its own. In the unlikely event of not consuming the whole bottle on one occasion, it can be kept in the fridge for up to one week once opened!

Vintage Pinot Port 2003 - $25

Cellar 8 to 25 years
Optimal drinking 2012-2023

The production of this rare, Vintage Pinot Port from carefully selected, late picked Pinot noir fruit was only possible because of exceptional ripening conditions in the Yarra Valley in 2003.
It is a rich, burgundy color with a complex and fruity nose. On the palate there is full flavored plum and black cherry fruit with good balancing spirit, soft tannin and a satisfying, lingering follow through. A wine to please those who must drink it now, but ideally suited to develop and mature during the next few years in the bottle. Not for keeping once opened, beyond one week.

Dorothy’s Choice Muscat (average of 20 years in oak) - $40

This wine can be drunk now or for many years into the future

This delicious, fruity, fortified wine was made from Muscat grapes grown in the Rutherglen region of Victoria. Australian Muscat wines are world renowned, the best being made from the Rutherglen clone. This is a blend of carefully selected vintages spanning the period of 1977 to 1997. The result is a wine which has both the depth, complexity and richness produced by aging, coupled with the freshness and fruit of a younger wine. Particularly evident are raisin, toasted almond and toffee characters that give it a luscious, mellow character. Try this with a good quality Cheddar or Blue Castello Cheese and biscuits.

Aromatica - in the style of Marsala Superiore Riserva - $30

Drink now or enjoy for many years into the future

Originating in Sicily, Marsala was one of the most expensive and popular wines in Europe for more than a century. Poor copies led to a short era when it was relegated to the kitchen. Aromatica reflects strict new Italian standards, is made traditionally, and vintaged over a number of years at Panton Hill. The result is “Christmas Pudding in a Glass”, rich and dark, with a hint of butterscotch, vanilla and spice. If you have only tried modern copies, discover why the traditional style was so popular. Uses: Try it on ice cream or crushed ice in the summer. Make a real Tira Misu, Mediterranean Trifle or a marinade for berries (especially strawberries), peaches or melon. Up-grade numerous desserts, when guests that you’d like to impress, arrive unexpectedly!

Orams Wish Chardonnay Liqueur - $30

Drink now or enjoy for many years into the future

Orams Wish was named after Oram's Reef, the richest gold seam in Panton Hill in the gold rush days. This unique, soft golden Chardonnay Liqueur is subtle but rich. Its smooth, mouth filling flavours of honey, citrus and crème caramel with a hint of grape flower aromas remind you of a warm spring day. Delicious on its own or accompanied by cheeses, almonds, dried fruits or chocolate.
