16.02.2022 The much anticipated 2021 Pennyweight Gamay is nearing the shelves. Hold onto your hats! #biodynamic #organic #vintage

02.02.2022 Lockdown vibes. Feeling very grateful that this is our local walking backdrop within 5km, especially after the deluge of rain last night. The vineyard has gotten a beautiful soaking #springrains #lockdownwalks #tourismnortheast #getvaccinated

25.01.2022 New release! Our 2015 Vintage Port (Fortified) now comes in a delightful little half bottle wintery lockdown perfection right there.

24.01.2022 Planting new vines this morning, to keep up with demand for our Pinot noir and CabernetOur current vines vary in age from 10, 25 and even 40 years old! So don’t worry we still have our originals, but always like to ensure the young’ns are part of future planning #biodynamicsoil #thegoodstuff

23.01.2022 Tying up the canes on the 3 year old vines in our new Pinot Noir block

23.01.2022 A big job sorting through the old cellar, finding a history of Morris made wines. This 1986 Pinot Noir turned out to be the first ever bottle made by our winemaker Stephen Morris Jnr. Just a cheeky 6 years old at the time #intheblood #winegenepool #morriswines

23.01.2022 From the vineyard to the winery: Part 1 of 2 These beauties were ready to pick just in time, at the turn of Autumn. It’s the slow ripening of our cool climate Beechworth Shiraz that makes it so delicious. Wait ‘til you see the next phase in the process...

22.01.2022 We hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous autumn weather and making the most of these challenging times. A glass of wine on the porch is occasionally just what we need! We are still happy to deliver wine to locals in the Beechworth area and surrounds so give us a bell or email if you need a top up. $15 for a litre bottle plus bottle deposit for you to reuse. You cant go wrong with the Upper Three Mile white and red #ecofriendly #sustainability #stayhome #drinklocal

21.01.2022 Fantastic article which highlights the essence of our community here in Beechworth, and features our very own Stephens no less! https://www.goodfood.com.au//guides-for-good-where-to-eat-

21.01.2022 Time to swap the trolley for a lawn mower!

20.01.2022 After hilling up with the merbein plough, the grapes are well and truly on their way!

20.01.2022 We have recently released our 2018 Chardonnay and it is looking spectacular! Cellar door open Saturday and Sunday from 10am, See you on the weekend!

19.01.2022 Beautiful view overlooking snowy Mount Buffalo from Pennyweight HQEarlier in the week when the sun peeped out momentarily! We are open for takeaways only, as per usual lockdown rules. We will also deliver to Beechworth locals if venturing out seems unthinkable in this weather!

17.01.2022 Moody skies last night, before the rain set in

17.01.2022 Were very excited to let you know our very limited litre-bottle summer blend white wine, The Upper 3 Mile White, is available right now and we think its really quite amazing! Be sure to visit our cellar door and grab yours, or contact us and arrange an order.

17.01.2022 And thats a wrap! Just in time for Easter, Vintage 2019 concludes with the processing of some wonderfully fragrant Cabernet Franc.

17.01.2022 New Years resolution #8: taste biodynamic, organic & delicious wine. Youll find us right here! Open business as usual.

16.01.2022 The last of the grapes have been picked as vintage begins to wrap up for 2021...Now our winemaker Stephen Jnr is turning these delicious juicy treats into remarkable wine for you all to enjoy #byebyegrapepicking #hellovino

16.01.2022 From the vineyard to the winery: Part 2 of 2 Beechworth Shiraz fermenting away. If you listen carefully you can hear the yeast working their magic. Co2 bubbling off is a by product of the conversion of sugar to alcohol.

16.01.2022 Sunrise Merlot... Vintage 2019 continues here at Pennyweight!

14.01.2022 Magical morning here in Beechworth

14.01.2022 Back to where it all began. Fairfield wine cellar, the first Morris winery founded 1859.

13.01.2022 TGIF! Not sure about you but this is just what we need after week 1 of lockdown 2.0 @bridgeroadbrewers Pale ale and our crispy dry Upper 3 mile white...yum! Wheres the cheese & biccies?

13.01.2022 Time to stock up on your apera or fortified collection? Or perhaps you just fancy a tasting to see what all the fuss is about! Cellar door open over the long weekend every day #beechworthopenforbusiness #blueskies #22degrees

12.01.2022 The mesmerising art of bottling Say hello to our 2019 Beechworth Shiraz! There is something so satisfying about this phase of the wine making process. You won’t be tasting this delicious drop for a couple of years, we like a bit of age on our reds before they hit the cellar door. If only age was this well regarded in all walks of life!

12.01.2022 Finding the silver lining of yet another lockdown here in Victoria Lots of rain to soak into our vineyard and set us up nicely for the coming growing season. : @cuffandstuff #lockdown5.0 #biodynamic #organic #pruningseason #northeast #rainbowsandlollipops

12.01.2022 There’s nothing quite like the ambience and beauty of our courtyard in Autumn. My happy place, we hope it’s yours too!

11.01.2022 We rummage our grapes gently and frequently to ensure optimal colour, intensity and tannin is achieved. It’s about maintaining the perfect conditions for the yeast to thrive and do their job. Hot diggity. Thanks to @cuffandstuff for this perfectly modelled example #vintage2021 #beechworth #biodynamic #organic #traditional

10.01.2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the recent departure of our amazing friend / mascot / escape artist, Nippy. A final altercation, and most definitely not her first, with a legless reptilian foe was what brought her unstuck in the end. Thanks for all the adventures and warm-hearted greetings to all our winery visitors Nippy. Rest well x

10.01.2022 *D i s b u d d i n g * Over the past couple of months, it has been crucial to manage and maintain the vineyard after some serious growth. Here we are disbudding the young Pinot Noir vines to help support heavy fruit in years to come. Our beautiful old grape vine trunks (last pic) don’t just happen by themselves! A bit of hard work each year keeps them in good stead for future years

10.01.2022 The Pinot noir grapes going through veraison, a process where the grape chooses its colour and begins to ripen. It typically signals 6 weeks from harvest. Loving the cooler weather! #pinotnoir #veraison

09.01.2022 Photo cred: @foodcornish Following a recent visit to Beechworth, our boys chatted with Richard Cornish about the lure of great food and wine in the region. Check out the full article in The Age Good Food Au or visit link in Richards bio

08.01.2022 The solero is a number of casks of wine set up to allow movement of wine from youngest to oldest. It is quite labour intensive but crucial to our sherry making process. We have up to a dozen casks of sherry involved in this process. In theory there is still some of the 1980 sherry in our solero, which adds to its delicious and complex taste

07.01.2022 Were at Blackhearts & Sparrows in Fitzroy North right now serving up some exciting tastings! Hope to see you there, all are welcome!

06.01.2022 Its been a while since we last posted because lets face it...not a lot has been happening! But who could resist a bike ride along the rail trail in this autumn sunshine and popping in for your @pennyweightwinery top up! Cellar door is open for pick up only (no tastings). We look forward to seeing you!

04.01.2022 We were lucky enough to go bush camping once regional Victoria was free from lockdown Safe to say this filled up our cup and got us excited for more exploring in our wonderful state! Looking forward to Melbournians finally being able to visit us in Beechworth once restrictions ease too! #visitvictoria #northeastvictoria #northeasttourism

03.01.2022 Winter pruning. The beginning of next years vintage, and a time to look ahead. This is where the 2021 vintage starts! Feeling excited for whats ahead!

03.01.2022 Can’t wait to show you all what’s been happening around here during lockdown 2.0 Cellar door face lift almost ready to reveal...watch this space!

03.01.2022 I dont know about you, but we cant wait for @tourdevines and @thebikehirecompany to start filling up our local rail trail with adventurers, weekenders and wine lovers again! In the meantime, the little lady is getting used to her chariot

03.01.2022 The art of Gold blending. #pennyweightgold #whiteport

02.01.2022 Three generations of Morris winemakers. One of whom demands to be carried around in a wheelbarrow chariot and really doesn’t pull her weight The Morris name has been synonymous with wine since the 1860’s. Producing excellent biodynamic organic wine is what we live and breathe. Stephen Morris Jnr is fifth generation winemaker and we are pretty excited about what he’s been producing. You’ll have to taste the latest wines and see for yourself!

02.01.2022 Just wait til you see the end result!#bottling #2019 #delicious #biodynamic

02.01.2022 Labeled and ready to mingle!#apera #biodynamicwine

02.01.2022 Trying to keep positive amongst all the chaos in the world. Feeling grateful to be able to lay low on our peaceful property and spend time with family #stayhome #slowdown #drinkwine #buylocal

02.01.2022 In the thick of Riesling and Vintage 2019! #biodynamic #organic #wine #beechworth #rieslingfordays

01.01.2022 Sampling the Chardonnay grapes. A very important part of the overall wine making process! #biodynamicwine #organic @ Pennyweight Winery

01.01.2022 Pick of the bunch #semillion #biodynamic #2020vintage

01.01.2022 A recent visit from our resident koala, making a quick inspection of the vineyard on the way through to a succulent fresh gum tree!
