Dear Wine Lover
Welcome to the first edition of our trust newsletter. By now many
of you will have sampled our trust vintage 2004 and, we hope, enjoyed
it as much as we have enjoyed making it. Thank you to all those who have supported us by purchasing cases
of our first release, trust 2004. Phew! What a vintage 2007 was with drought, frost, the hungry roos, wallabies and emus combined with the earliest vintage on record made it truly memorable. However we survived, a little fatigued and strung out, but all-in-all the wine from vintage 2007 looks great (more than we can say about Don!).  It’s finally here - trust 2005
A year on from our first release
of trust, it’s time to welcome
the arrival of the next edition to our family. Unlike 2004, which
leapt out of the barrel ready to bottle, the 2005 vintage has required
more fine-tuning on the blending bench to produce this exciting wine.
trust 2005 has all the vibrancy and aromatics of the ‘04 vintage
with a little firmer structure to house the concentrated fruit flavours
on the palate. The detailed 2005 tasting note can be found on our
new website at www.trustwines.com.au. Only 600 cases were produced in 2005. Our friends in the US have already snaffled a couple of pallets in their first order and we have interest from a number of UK wine merchants. |

Rave reviews for trust We’ve been delighted with many of the reviews that trust has received in the press over the last year. Below are some of our highlights:
Full details can be found here. |
The trust story - the shortened version! trust came about through a strong friendship forged between three
winemakers with a shared passion for fine wine, good food and good
times! We wanted to create a handcrafted Shiraz using our 45+ years
of accumulated experience and knowledge of the Central Victorian
region. Most importantly this allowed us to continue to work together
and enjoy each others’ company. For us, the key to producing a wine of this pedigree will always rest in the vineyard. Specific rows within vineyards are carefully selected to ensure that only the best parcels of a block go into trust. Each parcel is carefully guided, with a hands-on approach, through its journey of fermentation, barrel maturation and final selection before blending.
