Exciting news - our intrepid winemaker Paul Old will be at Rootstock in Sydney on 28th and 29th November 2015, showing our bio-dynamic French wines, alongside his Les Clos Perdus beauties. You'll find him at the Les Clos Perdus stand. If you'd like to have a chat with him, let us know and we'll see what can be arranged.
It's a real treat hearing Paul talk about his wines and his winemaking while tasting some of his fabulous wines. If you're in Sydney, we highy recommend getting down to Rootstock - should be great show.

While we're thrilled that the Wine Society has added the Heathcote Red 2014 to their stable, I have been in Peryiac-de-Mer looking at the upcoming wines that Paul is working on.
The Lost Plot Grenache 2014 has been bottled and is tasting rich and vibrant with soft tannins making for great drinking already. Top up your glass? errr, YES. Paul and I whipped through a bottle watching Ireland beat France on Sunday during the RWC. The game sounded more exciting in French somehow.
In the 2015 white department, Paul has been masterminding a local white blend, screaming with regional varieties. Sav Blanc, Macabeu, Marsanne, Rousanne, Terret and Grenache Gris. Like Willy Wonka and KFC, the recipe needs to remain a secret. Stay tuned for when this is released.
2015 Red from Languedoc blend will be bright. The varieties we tasted through could all be the major shareholder. Paul rubbed his chin more that once. Winemakings watching the development of juice with potential combinations is like watching someone decide on their own Christmas gift. This one. N,o this one. Damn I want them all, they're all good.
Will let you know when the two 2014 French wines hit our shores.
Cheers, Stu

We've had this one under wraps, but finally it's good to go.. Fizz! Pop! Spray! Nothing so crass when referring to this bottle of bubbles please.
Introducing The Lost Plot "Serendipity" Vintage 2004 Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australian Sparkling.
Why have we called it "Serendipity"? Well, this sparkling is a fortunate happenstance of the cool, slow ripening 2004 season in the Mornington Peninsula which produced a base wine full of finesse and elegance, followed by aging for 11 years on lees to bring on autolytic complexity. The result is a delicious, exciting Sparkling in the Methode Champenoise style.
And how does it taste? A pure and dry palate has a richness of apricots and melons, while the fine bubbles give way to fresh citrus flavours. Great purity with a long finish with some orange rind bitterness. A pleasant surprise from a truly unique Lost Plot treasure.
One to open for celebrations, or whenever a fantastic Sparkling is called for.
