Wildwood is a tiny producer in Sunbury, Victoria. Although a well established name in Melbourne, the minuscule production has meant that this winery remains largely undiscovered in Australia’s other states. The current releases are excellent examples of cool climate Australian wines. They are also wonderful values. Wildwood Vineyards experience a frost-free, cool, maritime climate. Lying in the rain shadow of Mount Macedon, the vineyard is treated to dry, sunny autumn days, which allows for maximum development of fruit flavours prior to harvest.
Right on Melbourne's doorstep, just past the airport, lies one of the jewels in the Sunbury crown. The wines can be decidedly fine and delicious. Ralph Kyte-Powell, The Age Epicure.
Again a very complex cool climate red that shows earthy, pungent, reductive aromas of smoked meats, yet also offers notes of mint, cassis, and dark plum. Deeply flavoured, yet medium bodied with a supple texture and a fine backbone of firm but supple tannins.
