2021 Passing Clouds 'Graeme's Blend' Bendigo Shiraz Cabernet

Graeme and Sue Leith planted their Bendigo property in 1974, with Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon. They started out making a hearty Shiraz / Cabernet blend, which they still produce to this day, under the Graeme’s blend.

After years of drought, they looked to Macedon and a cooler site to grow Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In 2010 their fruit was ready. By this time Cameron, second generation Leith winemaker had taken over the reins.

Today Cameron makes hearty Bendigo reds and delicate Macedon Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Riesling.

2019 see the 39th release of this wine. The blend changes every vintage and this time around it is 60% Shiraz & 40% Cabernet. Aromas of blackcurrant & raisin like richness and followed by a big wallop of black fruit & charred oak flavours.
