Oh, and what's the story with Wendouree Pressings wines? Anyone get them "offered"?

Last year was my first year so I presume it was due to being a newbie in the 21st century.

Are both the Wendouree shiraz mataro and shiraz malbec available this year?
I am a long way from my mailout and my parents mentioned there were only five variaties available this year.

Thanks Torb.
So. There's one missing?
The shiraz malbec from 1919 plantings?
Any ideas?

Could this mean Tony is saving his malbec from the 02 vintage for a straight release in a few years time?
I seem to remember he bottled a malbec in magnums from the 1991 vintage but has yet to release this. Can anyone confirm?
cheers,

You may be correct David.
I recall Huon Hooke mentioning the 91 Malbec magnums in his book "Words on Wine".
The magnums a celebration botttling of 100 years of the winery ( 1893 plantings ).
Hooke suggested the magnums may comfortably see the bi-centenary celebrations!
Personally, I like straight malbec in a long living style. New Zealand's La Strada Fromm Reserve comes to mind.
A dearth of local straight malbecs.
Wendouree Malbec release

Hi David M,
I raised the 91 Malbec release with Tony Brady the other day and his plan is to release it only when its ready for drinking
. That being his plan,I'd say a fair whack of us won't be around to see it!!
I didn't think to ask him about the absence of the Shiraz-Malbec from the current list. I'd say there probably wasn't enough of it (Malbec) to make the blend.

Price?

I hope i have sent this correctly, being a "lurker" for so long i have finally come out and this being my virgin post! I am also a virgin Wendouree mail order receiver this year and can someone please clarify the correct price of the Muscat of Alex? On the cover letter the price per bottle is $15, however on the order form its quoted as $18.

Welcome Dean. Even the best experts get wine wrong all the time, so fear not.
I suspect the $18 is correct. I think it was that last year. Rest assured if the $18 was a misprint on the order form that you would not be charged $18.
Keep posting.

Hi Everyone,
I just received my Wendouree newsletter for the 1st time as well. Do you think by returning the order form quickly helpful in securing yourself 1 or 2 bottles? Thanks.
