BLOWFLY
THE WINES
Crafted from fruit selected at night by human hands on the chilly slopes of South Burloo estate, Coonabararban. Vintage details available on our Buy Flies store.
greenbottle Brut Reserve NV
a sparkling chardonnay/pinot noir, made using méthode champenoise, it has a fine bead that pairs well with shell fish & duck pâté.
Blends
bluebottle Red
a very distinct bordeaux style blend based on merlot. medium bodied & fiendishly seductive, dubbed the 'shape-shifter' this wine pairs well with dishes from sashimi to steak.
BLOWFLY Chambourcin
an inky coloured 'big softy', bold fruit & soft tannins define this grape. bright acidity & a hint of gaminess make it a great companion to venison & duck.
BLOWFLY Merlot
our basalt clay soils confer an earthiness to the merlots, & the fine tannins provide an anchor to the ripe fuit. these wines are happiest with a fillet of red meat.
Varietals
BLOWFLY Petit Verdot
a minor bordeaux variety but a big flavour component. dark, spicy & with well-integrated tannins our petit verdot pairs well with slow-cooked meats & curries.
BLOWFLY Shiraz
the most variable of our varieties according to vintage, shiraz can be soft & smoky or bold & spicy. in its softer guise our shiraz pairs well with light gamey dishes like rabbit & quail, while its bolder self craves a darker meat.
Passito
MAELSTROM
a voluptuous passito style wine, made by semi-drying grape berries before vinification. this concentrates the fruit & aromatics of the wine without compromising acidity, yielding a dark, rich & very balanced cheese or dark chocolate dessert companion.
Reserve
CEASE & DESIST Dorbeaux
in simple terms, a bordeaux style blend bottled in dubbo, nsw. but the wines themselves are comprised through careful barrel selection of as little as three barrels from any particular vintage, & are anything but simple. balance is the key, with an eye on ageing refinement.
CEASE & DESIST Val Cuna
a rhone style blend from the coonabarabran region. the Val Cuna evolves from selecting the most intriguing barrels of shiraz & shaping them with touches of chambourcin, petit verdot or viognier to produce a dark, refined, full-bodied wine.
FLY GEAR

Clothing
Glasses
