Passing Clouds
Passing Clouds has long been an important and consistent maker of truly regional and long-living central Victorian red wines based around shiraz and the cabernet family. They're typically deep in flavour, firm and powdery in texture and reveal a charming natural balance. While I thought I could not imagine a better set of examples than the 2012 collection, the releases from 2013 crank the quality up again with some awesome regional styles of purity and balance. As ever, there's barely a concession to modernity, as the style has hardly altered since I was first attracted to them twenty-five years ago. The company has now relocated to a cooler site near Daylesford, but is fortunately retaining its unique Bendigo heritage.
