A former Sommelier in London for over a decade and then flying winemaker in Burgundy for several years, Troy Walsh established Attwoods in 2010. With a 1.5ha close-planted home vineyard in Scotsburn near Ballarat, another 2ha in Glenlyon (Macedon) as well as purchasing fruit from Geelong, the vision is for cool-climate, minimal intervention Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Attwoods is considered amongst the most exciting emerging talents from the interior regions of Victoria.

"Take your pick of Attwoods' wines: the chardonnays and pinot noirs are all stunning, combining savoury flavours, filigreed structure and fruit expression to great effect. Winemaker Troy Walsh's eye for fruit and vision for winemaking has resulted in some of the most impressive (and under-the-radar) wines in Australia."

Interesting sort of wine here. It’s dusty, peppery, sort of amaro-laced with orange peel, and aromatic dried herbs. It’s a little bit mulchy and autumnal, with baked plum and dried strawberry flavours. Tannin has a positive impact, and the acidity is tangy and adds some energy to the wine. The finish is dry and dusty, with a sweet/sour/spicy character, along with some powdery grip of tannin. It’s a quirky example of Pinot Noir, and yet, I quite like it. Invariably, I like an interesting wine over something more prosaic, and this is certainly an interesting wine. I’ve used that word three (3) times, so it must be so.
