"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.

Possibly a family heirloom?
Color: Black (Bifold), Color: Black (Bifold)
I ordered the Carhartt Men’s 700D Nylon Duck Wallet Bifold from Amazon, and it arrived very quickly. Once again, Amazon’s shipping and logistics proved that they are operating on some sort of wizard-level efficiency. In a world where most of our important information lives on our cell phones, it’s still nice to carry a good old-fashioned wallet. I’m apparently not ready to trust my entire identity to a slab of glass and lithium, so I still carry a wallet with my ID, a few credit cards, and occasionally some cash (for those rare situations where cash is still king). When I saw this wallet on Amazon and recognized the Carhartt name, I ordered it without hesitation. Opening the package revealed exactly what was advertised: a bifold wallet with RFID-blocking technology. While I have never been the victim of an RFID theft, I now feel confident that no one will be secretly scanning my debit card from across the room. Peace of mind is priceless. Construction-wise, this wallet is made of sturdy nylon and feels like it could survive daily abuse without complaint. It looks like it can handle being sat on, dropped, stuffed in pockets, and generally mistreated like most wallets are. The nylon also provides a bit of water resistance, which is great for anyone who has ever been caught in the rain or spilled coffee on themselves. Speaking of durability, this wallet feels like it’s built to last for years, possibly decades. I still have nylon wallets from high school floating around somewhere, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this one outlives me. At the very least, it should make it to retirement. There’s definitely value here. In an age of digital everything, it’s still nice to have a physical wallet to carry physical things, and this one does the job well without trying to be fancy. Would I recommend this wallet to others? Absolutely, especially if you’re a wallet person. It’s a trustworthy brand known for durability and value. Who knows, maybe in 20 years this will be a collectible, and I’ll be telling people, “Yeah, they don’t make wallets like this anymore.”

Nice Everyday Watch
Color: Silver-tone/White
The watchband was a bit too big and no one seems to be able to take out a link. Other than that, it's an excellent inexpensive everyday watch

Great watch, terrible band. Had two of these, both bands fell apart within weeks.
Color: Silver-tone/White, Color: Silver-tone/White
I had one just like this before. Great watch except they made one very bad change in the band which makes them fall apart within weeks. They don't tell time if you have to throw them in the garbage because of bands that fell apart. I like it, a nice clean dial, works fine, and you can make it light up to check the time in the dark. But some idiot made a terrible design change in the band. The center 1/3" of band is not twistable and falls apart easily. I've had two of these; both fell apart within weeks. The previous similar one that I owned without this design defect lasted me many years.
