Craiglee
Craiglee is a tiny vineyard sited on rolling hills and pasture country on the edge of Sunbury. It’s an historic property, with an ancient gravity-fed bluestone winery and cellars that could easily be deployed again if a posse of health bureaucrats suddenly saw the light. Its vineyard is principally planted to shiraz, traditionally making a heady, spicy wine of peppery style and rare elegance. The 2010 Shiraz continues to be one of my favourite Australian wines. Unusually for such a small maker, Craiglee also keeps good stocks of back vintage releases, for which it asks very reasonable prices.
