25.01.2022 Gruner Veltliner bottled last week the Gruner grapes were kindly donated by @longviewvineyard Vineyard in Macclelsfield and winemaking was undertaken for free at Lodestone Winery in Mt Torrens. So appreciative of the support these amazing people have provided so we could actually produce wine in 2020. Quick Wine Overview: The grapes were handpicked destemmed and sent to the press aneorobically for a light pressing to extract the best free run juice which was then split int...o two parcels. One portion was sent to tank where it was settled before fermentation in stainless steel to produce clean crisp characters such as the white peach, lime and grapefruit. While the second portion is sent straight to oak for wild fermentation on solids this provides the structure and mid pallet richness and structure with honey and nutty characters with a little extra sophistication and complexity. After going through stabilisation the blend was lightly fined using Casein (principal protein in milk) to remove any residual bitterness and unwanted characters (try not to fine my wines but this Gruner had some unwanted lee's characters) and sent for sterile filtration (not a fan of filtering also as it tends to remove aromas and flavours from wines, most of my reds will not see any filtration, but it is needed for white and rose wines with residual sugar (99% will have some RS). If they are not sterile filtered they risk spoilage in the bottle.) Releasing wine to general public and trade next month after wine dinner DM me if you would like to try some of this Austrian beauty at a special price. Normal cost:$24.99 per bottle but will do a special release price and have discounts on 6 packs and dozens too. Total volume is 102 cases so very limited and will move quick....
24.01.2022 Dad getting interviewed last night by the dynamic duo of Nick Filsell and Nick Dunne @whonickedmywine podcast. A relaxed affair discussing the New Era brand and property while reviewing the New Era Touriga Nacional 2018. Watch out for the release in about a months time. A big thanks to @podcastcentraladl for the kind use of their recording studio. #neweravineyards #adelaidehillswine #podcast #touriganacional #wine #adelaidehills

21.01.2022 Solitary Pinot Noir vine that survived.. Was a bit lonely but until we planted a few buddies for him, combo of clones again 115, Mv6, 777 and a mix of Gamay for a bit of fun.... We will pull a little fruit of this warrior and a few others this vintage so we are super happy like catdog.... #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #vineyard #pinotnoir #lonesurvivor #gamay #grapeclones #mv6 #115 #777 #bushfirebounceback
20.01.2022 Giving the 2019 Tempranillo last bit of love before being racked for bottling next week. Tastes amazing and was the first vintage that was 100% single vinyard from New Era Vineyards at Woodside. By the end of the afternoon of tasting pretty sure the guys were happy to get me out of the winery so they could get back to work... #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #adelaidehillswine #tempranillo #winery #barrelsurf #winetasting #2019vintage
20.01.2022 New 'Barrel Select' labels printed yesterday and being bottled today (fu covid I am monitoring bottling progress from home not ideal but hey it is a strange year...) From the 2019 vintage our Merlot was elevated to 'Barrel Select' status for the first time, joining this epic Merlot and getting bottled under this label is also a Pinot Noir and Shiraz. The quality of the 2019 vintage shines through as this is first time three wines been elevated to the 'Barrel Select' range before... Thank god these wines were made and stored at Lodestone Winery not Woodside as they would another casualty of battle if so..(take that bushfire...) #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #adelaidehillswine #barrelselect #merlot #pinotnoir #shiraz #2019vintage #bushfirebounceback #wine

18.01.2022 Magnum's of Syrah 2018 and Tempranillo 2019 in wooden boxes individually numbered to 297 now available.... I really enjoy drinking larger format bottles and anyone who brings a magnum or larger to the party always gets my vote and a 'Predator Handshake' with mid air arm wrestle optional.... #neweravineyards #syrah #tempranillo #magnums #predatorhandshake #arnie #dutchshaefer #dillon
17.01.2022 Extremely happy with the recovery progress of our Sangiovese vines. These Sang vines have been one of the success stories of the vineyard recovery with a high survival rate compared to some of the other varieties. It is also looking like we will get a small amount of fruit for wine production in vintage 2021..... #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #adelaidehillswine #vineyard #sangiovese #bushfirebounceback #vintage2021
17.01.2022 Fun night last night at National Wine Centre hosting a table at 'Dinner in the Dark' for Can:Do Group charity... Great experience matching New Era Vineyards wines with unique culinary dishes created by executive chef Stephen Clark. With the extra curve ball of trying to eat and drink in the dark while you are blindfolded... #dinnerinthedark #neweravineyards #adelaidehillswine #charitydinner #nationalwinecentre #greatnightout
16.01.2022 Lumberjacking on hold today; perfect afternoon for a couple of red wines complimented with a oven baked Crispy Pork Belly with ginger, garlic, honey and soy sauce marinade. Take that fires... The Temp was my pick, my mate Deano enjoyed the Sangio. What wine variety would you choose? #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #tempranillo #sangiovese #redwine #bushfirebounceback #crispyporkbelly #lumberjacklife #saproduce #sagreat

15.01.2022 Dunkaroo's family enjoying the re-growth at New Era, with some of the fencing still down they currently have free rein of the local area and are congregating in greater numbers in the oasis that is 'Coco Bongo New Era'. After having a difficult and interesting discussion they have agreed on the new social distancing rules and also not to graze on the grapevines and only eat all those tasty grasses and weeds.... #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #vineyard #vines #kangaroo #skippy #bushfirebounceback #sagreat #socialdistancing #mobofkangaroos
12.01.2022 We were beginning to have issues with the build up of dead vine trunks and also having drama's with equipment getting wet in the weather. As they say when life gives you burnt vines and iron make a temporary building.. #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #bushfirebounceback #vineyard #innovation #woodpile #waitingoncouncilapproval
12.01.2022 Got a little jellious over this units size; so went home and pumped out a few sets as 'New Era' is only big enough for one Alpha Buck; mission failed for the moment.... #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #kangaroo #vineyard #alpha #buck #grasseater
11.01.2022 Dolcetto Rose looking sensual in the new display at Norwood place, the only wine being promoted by @parade_cellars so pretty chuffed considering these guys have one of the best wine selections in Adelaide, with easily the best range of Hills booze... Note caught Andrew one of guns sneaking off somewhere in second photo... #neweravineyards #adelaidehillswine #dolcetto #rose #wine #norwoodplace #paradecellars
11.01.2022 Great cause and an increasing social issue in society at the moment that is often forgotten but needs more attention and support... #redfaces #charity #greatcause #getbehindit #neweravineyards
10.01.2022 Spring is here and so is New Era's first release from vintage 2020. 'The Spring Release' comprises two whites wines and a rose being sourced from the Hills and the Limestone Coast and includes a crisp Pinot Grigio, a funky Gruner Veltliner and a sexy Dolcetto Rose. To help celebrate this I have decided to release these wines a week early as I couldn't hold back so I have put together a little six pack comprising of two bottles of each at only $129.94 with free postage to c...apital cities.

09.01.2022 A couple of snaps from @adelaide_wine_markets on Saturday night. Super fun night that was thoroughly enjoyed by all that attended... A little bit of a different format with tasting been conducted while seated, with each winemaker switching tables every twenty minutes, like a speed tasting format... #neweravineyards #adelaidehills #winetasting #wineevent #pinotgrigio #dolcettorose #tempranillo #syrah #touriganacional #funtimes #wine #speedtasting
