We’re thrilled to finally share our 2024 Cornalin, the very first of its kind in Australia! This debut release marks the beginning of an exciting journey for this rare alpine variety in our cooler, high-altitude region.

This first bottling was made from the initial 40-odd single-bud cuttings, propagated by Bruce Chalmers, over in Mildura. While their warmer, drier climate is a world away from Beechworth, it’s a fascinating first look at how Cornalin responds to Australian terroir.

A light-medium bodied wine, with a beautiful ruby hue. Notes of cassis, dried tobacco and redcurrant on the nose, silky tannins and a supple acidity. We only have a handful of bottles available - don’t miss your chance to taste history.
