Winery

Fairbank is the second label for the Sutton Grange winery, a significant development adjacent to a spectacular horse property also owned by Melbourne businessman Peter Sidwell. Experienced French winemaker Gilles Lapalus, the son-in-law of famous Victorian winemaker Stuart Anderson, has overseen the winemaking of all releases to date. It will be interesting to see if the characteristic Old World-like quirkiness remains at Fairbank. I have always thought these wines can from time to time well and truly punch above their weight grade, as seen in the style and complexity of the 2012 Rouge (Shiraz).
