Punt Road Wines
The Napoleone Family have been orchardists in the Yarra Valley for three generations. In 1983 they established their first vineyard in the sub-region of Coldstream. The wines are crafted by Kate Goodman at the Punt Road winery and are a true reflection of the variety, the site and the region.
Punt Road is a reference to the busy iconic road of the same name in the middle of Melbourne. In the 1850’s Punt Road was a quiet dirt road that met the Yarra River on the outskirts of the city. The road was surrounded by some of the first commercial vineyards in Victoria, and was linked across the river by a punt, which would ferry people and goods to the other side.
Punt Road remains today in the heart of cosmopolitan Melbourne. A bridge now stands where the punt once was, and the vineyards have been re-established throughout the Yarra Valley, where the grapes for this wine are grown today.
The Tasting
A bright red colour with an aromatic bouquet of dark cherry, spice and some earthiness. The palate is vibrant yet still restrained and elegant with flavours of red berry and spice leading to long fine tannins of the finish.
