'The Debourg family have been growing grapes in Beaujolais since 1850. Located in Saint Germain Nuelles in the Pierres Dorées region, hallway between Villefranche and Lyon.
In 2016 Jean Francois and his wife Ghislaine chose a direction change for the family business and took to vinifying their own grapes in addition to remaining a grower and selling fruit.
The shift came after meeting Burgundian winemaker Francois Ecot (L'insloent de la Bourgogne) in 2015.
Converting all their vineyards to full organic viticulture, for which they were certified in 2021, Francois was to became a teacher and mentor Jean Francois who makes his wines using traditional maceration ala Burgundy rather than Carbonic maceration ala the Gang of Four
Coteaux Bourguignons (Burgundian Hills) is a regional-level appellation, covering the entire Burgundy region from the area around Auxerre to and including southern Beaujolais.

Poised with structure and definition this is a winemakers wine. Black and red fruits, plush yet with a finess to it, minerality and tannins intertwine to give a Beaujolais of depth and darkness owing to its classic maceration as opposed to Carbonic.

Beaujolais through a Burgundian lens.

Joshua Cooper Shay's Flat Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021

Josh Cooper is only in his early 30s but he has already been named “one of Australia’s brightest young stars” by Wine commentator Mike Bennie. Josh has spent the last decade refining his craft and well-honed palate, but his education began in childhood. He grew up in Victoria’s chilly Macedon Ranges where his parents Alan and Nelly run Cobaw Ridge Winery.

Working with fruit from outside the family plot to craft his own suite of low-intervention wine, the growers he works with from across central Victoria farm with a like-minded philosophy of organic farming and sustainability making plant and soil health the prime building blocks for wines of poise and distinction.

Although his reputation has been defined early on for the quality of his Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, its his new found passion for Cabernet Sauvignon that is really making some noise.

This is silky and sleek from an organic vineyard that has the measure of quality and finesse in spades. Juicy of fruit with all the expected notes of cassis, bramble, tapenade and herbaceous leafy tones, the fine tannin and clearly sketched mineral definition take this to a whole new place, running long and fine stretching the density till it's just the right weight. Polished and poised, this is a long stride towards making Cabernet Sauvignon cool again.

Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah, 2021

Working exclusively with shiraz from the revered Hoffmann Vineyard for this label, Sami-Odi, Fraser McKinley has reinterpreted the possibilities of what the Barossa can be and the story it can tell, drawing on his background in fine arts to aid this vision and tell his part.

Sourced from small plots of vines (some significantly old), which he tends with organic principles, his wines are made using only whole bunches, with no adds bar a touch of sulphur.
Blending is how Fraser tells his story, pulling the components of these remarkable parcels together is more important to him than vintage or varietal, hence these details are obscured or just not there on his labels.
The new iteration of the HD sees a wine of depth and fullness, dare I say lighter than a few of the previous vintages but still with those deep characteristics that are Sami-Odi.

Yields ranged between 26 & 39 hectolitres per hectare.

6275 bottles were filled.
