Michael Downer formally trained as a winemaker at Adelaide University. After studying Oenology, he toured the world's great wine regions with harvest experience in Adelaide Hills, Barolo, Italy, Great Western, and Victoria. Michael then returned to the Adelaide Hills to lead the winemaking at Murdoch Hill. His approach is to make wines that are honest to their origins and to express creativity.

2021 The Rocket Chardonnay
Usually $82 - Special Offer $77
“A chardonnay of striking depth and elegance, this has tension. Purity of fruit and complexity, too. Really something. There are wet-stone minerals and flint, together with lemon, yellow-grapefruit and subtle, creamy spice notes. The palate has such refined and elegantly powerful style with a flush of bright acidity driving the long, fresh finish. Stunning chardonnay and terrific value on a world scale.”

2021 Vis-a-Vis Cabernet Franc
Usually $39 - Special Offer $34
"Dark chocolate, leafy herbs, salt bush, arrowroot biscuits and warmed mixed nuts in scent and flavour. Juicy and dark fruited in the palate, a crisp line of tannin and acid keeping things fresh and frisky. Delicious drink."

2021 Apollo Pinot Noir
Usually $82 - Special Offer $77
“Woody spice, clove and cinnamon spice, pickled cherries and some liquorice notes. Fine, silty tannins in a sheath here too. Savoury as, dusty in a way, autumnal dried leaf and truffley kind of pinot noir. Serious stuff.”
