Wine Online in Melbourne

If you are a wine lover and are looking for some unique wines not generally available in stores, you may want to consider an online wine store that specialises in hard to find wines from boutique wineries and NZ artisan and small run winemakers.

Certain neighbouring regions, such as New Zealand, house many great and rare home wineries that are constantly supplying Melbourne with fantastic and hard to find wines. Many wines that are usually only available from the cellar door at the winery are now available online through selected wine distributors in Australia. Here are some recommendations on the fine wine Melbourne folks have access to:

Nelson Pinot Gris 2009 (Nelson, New Zealand)

From the Vineyard of Blackenbrook, this bottle of Pinot Gris contains a wonderful blend of tannin and fruit taste. Although it doesn't come from a very large winery, the production process of Pinot Gris 2009 goes through high quality control.

Filtration and pumping are kept to gentle levels to retain its highly original flavour, while the whole bunches of grapes are uniformly pressed to ensure the highest quality of must. With a CV of Silver Medal Bragato Wine Awards and Silver Medal New Zealand International Wine Show in 2009, this is a gem for you lucky Melbourne people.

Blackenbrook Gewurztraminer 2008 (Nelson, New Zealand)

Another product from Blackenbrook, the Nelson Gewürztraminer 2008 features the same high quality production values as the Pinot Gris. Grafting of vines is all done on site and maximum effort has been put into getting the most fertile soil.

As with all Blackenbrook wines, fruits are pressed whole and gravity fed into the main winery for maximum quality. This particular NZ wine tastes as good as the comparable Nelson Pinot Gris 2009, so if you like that, you'll love this one.

Terrace Edge Pinot Noir 2008 (Waipara Valley, New Zealand)

A family owned vineyard for generations, Terrace Edge takes delight in creating high standards of quality wine. They only use fruits from their own vineyard, and even intentionally reduce cropping levels to ensure they harvest fruits with the highest flavour concentration. From handpicking to sorting harvests manually, you can tell that the Terrace Edge adopts a traditional manual approach to the production of their wines. Their wines have gotten great reviews from Sam Kim of Wine Orbit New Zealand, who is a Senior Wine Judge. Fortunately for most areas in Australia, including Melbourne, Terrace Edge has distributors shipping their Pinot Noir to the region.

Apart from these wines, there are many other vineyards that supply their wine to the Australian market through boutique online wine stores. A little research on the internet will show that there are actually some very good online wine stores that deal with exclusive wines and will ship to your door, often including shipping at their cost if you buy a whole case.

Some of these stores even specialize in distributing New Zealand wines to Melbourne and other cities in Australia, so you are sure to have your pick.
