Australian Wine Companion 2009
"5 stars Heathcote Shiraz 2005"
Deep Crimson-purple classic Heathcote in the big style abounding with black fruits in a soft, rounded palate, can be enjoyed now or in 20 years".
"4 1/2 stars Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2006"
"Has more richness and weight than the alcohol would suggest, with ripe stone fruit carrying the barrel ferment oak inputs well; does shorten slightly. Rating 90 to 2011"
4 ½ stars – Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2005
"Bright red-purple; light bodied, elegant and restrained; pure red pinot fruits have absorbed the oak, and the wine has excellent length." Rating 93
Cellaring Potential to 2015
4 ½ stars – Heathcote Shiraz 2004
"Spicy, clove and blackberry aromas, the palate medium to full-bodied, but supple, smooth and ripe, with a slight lift on the finish
Rating 93
Cellaring Potential to 2019

What's happening in the vineyard?
With the start to the cool summer the vines have been subject to fungus but fingers crossed the vines are still looking strong and healthy due to Greg’s diligence in applying fish and seaweed emulsion on a regular basis...

Wonga Estate celebrate the successful introduction of our newest wine - The Fugue
A composition of Wonga Estate's award winning Heathcote Shiraz and Yarra Valley Pinot Noir which have gradually built up into a complex form having somewhat distinct stages of development and a marked climax at the finish.
2006 The Fugue is an elegant but quite complex medium bodied palate of red berries, plums and cherries, well integrated oak with a silky texture to the fine and savoury tannins with cellaring potential to 2015

About our Wine
Greg and Jady Roberts have a simple philosophy of producing premium cool climate pinot noir and chardonnay from low yielding estate grown vines (less than 2 tonne to the acre). The vines are French clone pinot noir and chardonnay meticulously maintained and the fruit is non-irrigated and hand picked. Wonga Estate combines modern technology and old world winemaking traditions. The wine is basket pressed, minimally filtered and matured in French oak barriques for a minimum of twelve months.
