‘Someone asked me the other day something to the tune of ‘who are the next generation of newer generation producers who will truly create a legacy in Australian wine … I would put Ravensworth and Bryan Martin firmly in the list. No misses from him. Building a formidable argument to prestige.‘ Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.
‘As a talented food writer, cook and forager, Bryan Martin thinks deeply about textures and flavours. This combined with over a decade’s experience at Clonakilla, has resulted in a suite of distinctive Ravensworth wines’ Huon Hooke, Gourmet Traveller Wine.
Bryan Martin was assistant winemaker at Clonakilla for over 20 years up until 2019 when he left to focus solely on his and his wife Jocelyn’s number one passion – Ravensworth Wines, also in Murrumbateman high country near Canberra. He is passionate about food, an enthusiastic cook (as highlighted in his beautiful, evocative labels featured above!) always experimenting, trying new things and adopts the same philosphy with his wines – no additions, wild yeasts (natural winemaking, organically grown philosophy), he picks early to maintain natural freshness and acidity. His wines are about flavour and texture .. cool climate viticulture at its finest!
Clonakilla has often been thought as the leading winery in this region but Ravensworth has gained much success and critical praise including winning the International Riesling Challenge in 2012 and in 2015 he was runner up Winemaker of the Year for Gourmet Traveller Wine.
A blend of two Italian varities – 70% Fiano from the high altitude vineyards in the Hilltops region and the Trebbiano from the Swan Valley in WA. Both batches were destemmed and left on skins for between two and 12 hours before being pressed to a mix of concrete, oak and ceramic vessels. After fermentation, the wine was left on lees for six months before being racked and blended. Brimming with flavour think citrus, apple, star fruit and hints of kiwi, spice, texture and mouthwatering mineral zing.. Delicious
94 points, Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion “This is super savoury, textural and phenolic. Good white phenolics though, which add shape, mouthfeel and detail throughout. Lots going on with preserved lemon, salted limes and a raft of spices, ginger and coriander especially. Very dry and very appealing, with food though, please.”
