Gippsland, Victoria. The fruit for this wine is selected from older estate plantings with a
portion fermented in new oak barriques in order to maximise complexity.
It is an intensely flavoured and complex wine with a lovely creamy
texture and excellent natural acidity. This wine is a perfect
accompaniment to seafood and will develop further over the next 5 years.
Narkoojee,
meaning "place of flowers”, was a dairy farm owned and operated by Edna
and Athelstan Friend, since the early 1940s. Their son Harry planted
the first experimental vines back in 1980 and with his wife Val, moved
to the property from Melbourne in 1995. Narkoojee had very humble
beginnings with the Cellar Door operating out of a small weatherboard
bungalow at the back of Harry and Val Friend’s house. The grapes were
taken to the old butter factory in Glengarry, which served as their
first winery. Today Narkoojee has a state-of-the-art winery that was
officially opened on 10 December 2004.
