Jon Ross & his wife Jane Lopes were successful, high-profile sommeliers working for the world’s number one restaurant, Eleven Madison Park. They moved to Australia to work in restaurants and make wine. It may not have looked perfect on paper, but that’s because you don’t know Jon and Jane. They don’t rest on laurels. They are lifelong learners who continue to grow and challenge themselves. Jane found herself running the wine program at the famed Attica in Melbourne, and John found himself running multiple restaurant wine programs, working harvest, and launching his own side project, Micro Wines.

Winemaker’s Notes:

The 2018 Micro Wines Shiraz is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1987, on soils made of ancient marine sea bed overlayed with volcanic basalt and alluvial river deposits.  

Whole berry, and a small percentage of whole bunch fermentation gives the wine its heady aromatic lift of fresh purple blossoms, ripe black plums, and salty herbs. Tannins are velvety and subtle, rounded out by a year in a 1200L, 7-year old cask. The wine has enjoyed nearly two years in bottle before its release. It not only jumps out of the glass aromatically, but oscillates between its savory and fruity flavors as it evolves in the glass.
