Newsletter
Greetings!
We hope life is treating you well!
It doesn't feel like that long ago when we last put pen to paper, but I guess looking back at what's taken place since our last Newsletter it must have been a while ago. It seems that there's been plenty happening.
Things have been good up here on the hill. This year's winter and spring have been kind with plenty of moisture around helping to keep the hillsides green and allow plenty of shoot growth on our beloved grapevines. It's only now that we're starting to feel a bit of warmth from the sun and see the hills are turning brown.
Our 2011 reds are happily lying in barrel, the 2010's are blended and about to hit the bottle and the 09's are drinking well and walking out the door at a nice pace.
We've had many visitors come to The Shed this year. The doors were open on a short term basis from the end of May until the end of the June long weekend with many new folk being introduced to the Dutschke drop. This is the second time we've done our "cellar door" during May/June and we decided it will become a regular pattern to our program.
We hoped to be able to open again in October, but we ran short of time because we double booked and it seemed a family holiday in Queensland to celebrate the winemakers 50th birthday was too important to miss out on. We still managed to do a number of appointment tastings during the year, which are always good fun and of course very rewarding. We enjoy sharing our story and its great to hear yours.

- Old Codger Tawny Port - Gold
- 22 year old Tawny - Silver

New wine: "86 Block" Chardonnay
We have a brand new wine in the Dutschke Wines range, the "86 Block" Chardonnay. As a young wine this Chardonnay shows fresh citrus like fruit flavours and is dry and crisp. With time it will soften and fill to show more rounded fruit driven flavours and become more mouth filling.
