Wendouree has achieved cult status with its tiny production from ancient vines. Luscious dark berry Shiraz fruits and some meaty characters run through the full-bodied palate with ripe tannins.
Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Mint, eucalyptus and menthol certainly play a large part in the flavour profile, and if you don't mind that or accept it, then onwards and upwards. There's crushed berries, coffee bean, perfumed dried herb and black pepper - aromatic. Only just medium bodied but notably young and sinewy with firm acid and tannin - grip and vigour - no shortage of that. It's savoury and red and black fruited with a long dry finish. Love the shape and old vine authority here which stamp it out as a remarkable and individual wine. Respect that authority, yet don't love it. It should age magnificently and become something else again - in about twenty years.
