- Gary Ablett Jnr.
"When I first raised the Ablett Wines project with Dad, I wasn’t quite sure what he would say to be honest” .
“After we started talking about it, we both felt it was a nice way to ‘bottle’ and put a ‘cap’ on our respective careers, whilst at the same time sharing it with all the footy fans who have supported us over the many years.

ABLETT FAMILY COLLECTION PINOT NOIR
Vintage: 2020
Region: GEELONG
ALC: 14%
This pinot noir boasts an elegant, fragrant, and complex fruited nose of red cherry with a hint of cedar and vanilla. The complexity derives from careful, restrained use of French Oak that enhance and support the pure vibrant fruit flavours. The palate is silky smooth with gentle round edges, pops of lingering raspberry and plum and a slightly grained texture. This will drink incredibly well young but will continue to improve with careful cellaring for 6-8 years. A magnificent true to style example of what Geelong pinot is all about.
ABLETT FAMILY COLLECTION SHIRAZ
Vintage: 2019
Region: CENTRAL VIC/GEELONG
ALC: 14.5%
This Shiraz is medium bodied and shows intense concentration of flavours and density. A deep purple colour with crimson red hues, it boasts hints of cardamon, spice and cinnamon on the nose, with a lovely herbaceous undertone. Delicious flavours of plum and blackberry combine with a hint of pepper giving the wine depth and intensity. Finished with supple, fine grained tannins that help extend length to deliver a silky-smooth shiraz packed with body and flavour, which will continue to develop and mature in bottle for 10+ years.
