"Aromas of aged meats and toasty barrel spices, dark berries and preserved black currants, clove and a stony dried clay earthy qualities. Youthful, fresh, fruity and dry on the palate with fruit flavours reflecting the bouquet frst then texture from tannins and acidity and finally baking spices and smoke from the use of barrel. The clay and mineral qualities are a recurring theme. A lovely wine ready for pairing with high protein dishes or cheese with best drinking from 2022 through 2026+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2022

"Soft aromatics of lifted black fruits with hints of savoury characters and a pinch of black pepper come through on what is a most intriguing nose. These dark fruits segue through to the palate with plums and red fruits in tandem, set against lovely chalky tannins. A juicy and powerful wine with elegance" Cuisine Magazine 2022

"Ghost Town Syrah is handcrafted in very limited quantities. Vibrant aromas of black cherry notes and violet florals on the nose. Fruits of the forest with a touch of black pepper flow into a savoury earthy mid-palate. Blackberry and cedary notes extend to a tightly bound wine with excellent drive" Matt Dicey, Winemaker

We expect this wine to evolve with careful cellaring for another 10-15 years.

Mt Difficulty Single Vineyard wines are a celebration of time and place. Located in Bendigo on Chinaman's Terrace, once home to over 2000 Chinese miners during the 1860s and 70s, Ghost Town vineyard comprises of 13ha planted in mature Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Syrah. Planted in 2001, Ghost Town is at a high elevation rising from 340m to 382m. It potentially sees slightly warmer temperatures than Bannockburn during the peak of the ripening period, although harvest can be a week or so later than our Bannockburn vineyards due to this elevation. Ghost Town 's unique personality, together with minimal winemaking intervention, has resulted in a Syrah that displays a fine texture and suppleness.

A vintage of variability, contrasts and many different phases of weather through the growing season. A normal to warm start to the season was interrupted by a cold snap and snowfall mid-November. Weather over flowering was patchy, but overall flowering was successful. An oddity during summer this year was warmer nights and cooler days. this gives the appearance of a warmer season than it really was. There was a significant amount of early season rainfall, right through to the end of January. Cool and very dry conditions prevailed through February when verasion occurs - slowing that phase of ripening down. The heat and regular rainfall did reappear in March and then finally a very cool and lengthy final ripening phase through April.

The Syrah was the last fruit harvested for the season on the 9th May. There are 4 different clonal combinations in the vineyard and these were all harvested together. There were two different ferments of Syrah, one was fully de-stemmed; the second contained 30% whole clusters. The must underwent 7 days of cold maceration, being hand plunged once daily. The ferments were heated after this and both fermented with indigenous yeasts. The ferments lasted for an average of 10 days during at which time they were hand plunged once daily with the temperature peaking at 30°C. One of the ferments was pressed off at 5 Brix whilst the other stayed on skins for a further 7 days post-dryness and was plunged occasionally with increasing ease. When the wine tasted in harmony it was pressed off to barrel where it resided on full lees for 12 months. It underwent malolactic fermentation in the spring, was racked out of barrel in late autumn and was not filtered or fined prior to bottling.

Size down! But overall comfortable and cute and good quality
Size: Small, Color: Light Yellow
Overall it’s cute and comfortable, but my advice is to SIZE DOWN!!! I wish I would have, but I’ve already washed it so it’s too late. The straps are adjustable, but even so, I’ve had to tighten them as far as they’ll go. For reference, I am 5’1” and 125#, rectangle shaped/boxy body with a very small chest and I got a Small. The top gapes open on me and the dress is longer than I prefer for this style. Material/fabric is nice and good quality and it’s a perfect one-piece easy outfit for warm days. I like the yellow color too. It is tricky to find the right bra to wear with it, though. Got lots of compliments on it the first time I wore it.

Cute, Comfy & Flowy—Great for Plus Size!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
I really like this dress! It’s super comfortable and lightweight, and the material feels soft without being too thin. It has a nice flow to it, so it doesn’t cling to your body, which I really appreciate. For reference, I’m 5’4” with a 46” bust, and the dress fits well overall. The length is great, and I love that it has a relaxed fit—it’s easy to throw on and still look put together. The pockets are also a nice bonus and actually usable. The only thing to note is the top area can be a little more open on the sides, so I personally prefer wearing a sports bra or something cute underneath. It actually works really well styled that way and gives that “layered” look. Overall, it’s a really easy, comfortable dress that you can dress up or down. I’ll definitely be wearing this a lot!

Great dress for running around town
Size: Large, Color: Coffee
I love this dress. I ordered this dress fist in a medium, then a large. I probably would have been fine in the large, but I just wanted a little more room and I wanted it to come to my knees so I ordered the XL and I love it. The material is a cotton knit type material similar to a t-shirt with a little stretch to it. I am 5'2", #170 and the XL gave me the fit I was looking for, being loose and comfortable. There is a second layer under the dress that has shorts and a tank top built in. Unfortunately, you must take the entire thing off to use the restroom but I am considering adding snaps to the crotch so that it is easier and I won't have to completely undress to use the restroom. The olive/army green is beautiful and I am planning to order the plum color dress as another addition to my summer wardrobe.

Cute Idea, But Fit Didn’t Work for Me
Size: Medium, Color: Coffee
The material was nice but also a little different than expected. It’s soft, just not quite the level of softness I was hoping for. I do think it’s worth the price overall, but it’s not something I would personally wear 24/7. I ended up returning it because the fit just wasn’t quite right for me. It was very loose up top but really tight around the bottom, which made the cut a little off for my body type.

Postpartum Certified!! :)
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I am currently a breast feeding mother who is only 5 weeks post partum. Heading into the summer I needed clothes that fit my changing body and gave me a little confidence that I’ve been lacking recently. This dress has completely done it!! The material is extremely comfortable and not too tight on my body. It’s long enough to give me the coverage that I’m comfortable with but still makes me feel cute. Without knowing how to shop for or what size my body is at after birth, I listened to the comments and got a medium when I was thinking I might be a large and it fits great! Definitely size down though! I will be getting more!!!
