"I’ve gone on record before about this, but Sorrenberg has to be one of my favourite wine producers in Australia. Integrity in farming, deft but old school way with grapes in winery, honest, flavoursome, bright, stellar wines. And some of the nicest humans in our fair yet broad wine community."
Mike Bennie, The Wine Front

Sorrenberg

In 1986, Beechworth was merely a burgeoning wine region. However, Barry and Jan Morey recognised its potential and started planting their winery, Sorrenberg. Rather than focusing on using large amounts of manipulation or trendy winemaking techniques, the Moreys prioritise the health of their vines and the soil.

Barry and Jan have flown the flag steadfastly for biodynamic viticulture and reasonable minimum intervention winemaking for some time now. While during the early days the pair have acknowledged the challenges they faced, they feel like the care and work they imparted into the land is now being returned to them. This long-term commitment to the ecosystem has resulted in consistent, delicious wines of real character. It's of no surprise that Sorrenberg now has an extremely loyal following. Their wines never hang around for long, so make sure you order today to avoid missing out.

2023 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

Usually $64

Special Offer $59

"A rare Victorian sauvignon blanc sémillon blend from a true believer in the style. Barry Morey brings the two grapes together in a rare harmony, combining herbal intensity, but not aggression, with florals and a citrus generosity. Mountain herbs, white flowers, hay, apple and citrus scents introduce a palate seamless for one so young. Boasts excellent texture and all the freshness and verve you could want."

2023 Gamay

Usually $89

Special Offer $78

"The 2023 Gamay hails from a cool and wet vintage (horrendously low yielding at Sorrenberg) in Beechworth, and the wine aromatically leads with rose petals, sour cherry, star anise, scratched blood orange rind, Pink Lady apple, strawberry and cranberry. In the mouth, the wine is gently minty, spicy and clear, with a pure flow of very fine fruit and chalky tannins. If this were a painting, it would be of watercolor, not oil, and it's important to know this when seeking to understand this wine in the context of other Sorrenberg Gamay vintages... I like the philosophy slightly more than the wine this year: the producer has such a clear understanding of their site and region that I am prepared to back that to the hilt. A lovely wine, it's a quiet iteration in 2023."

2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Usually $64

Special Offer$59

"The aromas of the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot show dark plum intermingled with blackcurrants and elements of cigar box. This medley carries through to the palate with tight acidity, complex fine grain tannin and spicy oak. Providing extra length and dimension. Still a young wine, it will benefit with cellar time."
