Domestic sales at the winery are huge, as is their demand, and perhaps the reason why we have seen the huge jump in price. Of course, everyone is feeling the pinch and prices must be adjusted if necessary, however not by such a colossal number. Their estate Chardonnay and both sparkling beauties also found favour (with us all) however, and after receiving their new sample collection (our order pen at the ready), we received the bombshell. Our first order was a roaring success – their Supernatural Pinot Noir was a dream and was the first wine my team and I pinched at the end of the week. Sadly, we have parted company with Tassie producer, Ghost Rock on the grounds of high price increases. The ugliness of commercial life has bitten again. Accordingly, Liam is buying young brandy (by the barrel) and plans to age it himself. Liam explained - aged (circa 24 years) brandy used to fortify the wine is no longer available as domestic sales for aged brandy have shot through the roof resulting in panic bottlings and much bigger sales prices for the owners of once, hard to sell barrels. Sadly, and for fans of their Fortified Duck, this is a non-starter and may well be for a decade or more.
Firstly, and to quell the excitement, yes, we will be shipping a small allocation of their brilliant Sparkling Duck which will be here at some point during Q3 / early Q4. A fair compromise, which of course, requires you to partake! Sparkling (Shiraz) Duck and their Fortified Duck being hot topics too. We’ve agreed to work a little harder on our relationship which includes Liam providing wines only available to their faithful members and for me to sell them / more of them. The Aussies are as interested in the UK as I am in their domestic market. Wild Duck Creek Estate: Erratic wi-fi signals aside, Liam and I had a good-old chinwag over Zoom. It’s over to you – simply vote with your feet and we will obey your wishes It’s really simple – follow this link… Without being too crass, I must sell a few cases too… Is April the right month to release the following, new wines on a pre-arrival basis?Ģ021 Shiraz, 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021 Cabernet / Shiraz, 2021 MSG and 2021 Block 1. If truth be known, I have been waiting for the right time to sample them and to share the news with you all. I think that I’m getting close to where I want to be with the vineyard.” The new ‘sample’ collection has been waiting patiently since January. I’m biased, but in my opinion I’m very excited by them. Utopos Kym, as we like to call him, is chomping at the bit, “ I’m keen to know if you had tried the samples of the 21 wines yet and what you thought of them. Let them dry off – perhaps a light exterior polish with a fine, wine cloth. They are dishwasher safe (if you have a glass care system). I do hope you are enjoying them and a word of warning avoid using a tea-towel to dry them. For the first time, existing Vinorium customers have purchased more glassware than newbies (non-wine buying customers) which is great to see. The Vinorium will not join the long list of ‘advantage taking’ businesses. This week, we received a polite email asking us to increase our prices however, we reminded Zalto that we paid 2022 prices and believe it is only right and proper that sales prices should be in line with our costs.
As previously mentioned, Zalto have increased their 2023 prices and their RRPs. Several stems have sold-out with the remainder coming close… We have a much smaller order pending with an ETA mid-year however, we can never really judge. Absurdly expensive gravy – organic of course…ĭespite ordering over 1,000 stems from Zalto, our stocks are, and quite astonishingly, very low (75% sold within two weeks). I will say, the beefy / Standish gravy was good enough to bottle. In my defence, I had spent an intimate week with them all, and believe I served them well. I agree, decadent and perhaps a waste of great, Aussie Shiraz. The remainder bathed beef short ribs for three-hours in the oven. Quite extraordinary given these were decanted on Monday evening. Absolutely delicious and still no signs of obvious oxidation.

They will reappear (at their full RRPs) once our trade customers have had their turn… Interestingly, I took a few opened bottles home with me on Thursday evening which I re-sampled on Saturday and Sunday. We will remove all traces of the offer from our website along with the ability to purchase the new collection. Our pre-arrival campaign closes at 9:00am Monday 13 March. My favourite, The Schubert Theorem is the best seller and has been for the past few years. As predicted, pre-arrival sales are a smidgeon down on the 2020 collection and reason we kept to a shrewd strategy of reducing our margins, thus supporting last year’s prices.
Thank you for all your 2021 Standish orders.
