2023 Ravensworth Shiraz Viognier

Few winemakers know Shiraz Viognier like Bryan Martin. He spent years at Clonakilla helping shape Australia’s most famous example of the style, and for nearly two decades he’s been honing his own version under the Ravensworth label. Today, his estate-grown Shiraz Viognier is one of Canberra’s most talked-about wines.

The 2023 vintage shows why. It’s cool-climate Shiraz at its most captivating: floral, spicy and red-fruited, lifted by just a whisper of Viognier. That small addition isn’t about perfume alone – Bryan uses it to shape the palate, giving the wine a silky, seamless feel that’s become a hallmark of Ravensworth.

This is a wine that feels effortlessly together even in youth, with layers of cherry, spice and dried flowers already meshing beautifully. The structure is fine and long, suggesting a decade in the cellar will only add complexity, though it’s dangerously drinkable now with lamb or anything fragrant and spiced.

Production is small – only 700 dozen made – and demand is high. If you’re serious about Shiraz Viognier, this belongs in your collection.

2023 Ravensworth Estate Sangiovese

Bryan Martin has been working with Sangiovese since 2005, long before it was fashionable in Australia, and his estate vines in Murrumbateman - now over 20 years old - are among the country’s most established. Over the years he’s refined the approach, leaning into more traditional methods borrowed from Tuscany. The fruit spends extended time on skins before maturing slowly in large-format foudre, a style that builds savoury complexity without the distraction of oak.

The 2023 release is a beauty. Black cherry, blood plum and cranberry lead the way, wrapped up with spice, florals, and a thread of dried herbs and tea leaf. It’s lively and elegant, framed by the fine, gravelly tannins and bright acidity that make Sangiovese so compelling at the table. Already delicious, but with the bones to cellar comfortably for a decade or more.

This has become Ravensworth’s most in-demand wine for good reason. It’s a thoughtful, Australian-grown expression that captures the soul of the variety while carving out its own voice. One of the best Sangioveses you’ll find outside of Italy – and proof of Bryan’s patient, steady hand with this notoriously tricky grape.

2023 Ravensworth Hilltops Montepulciano

If you’ve ever wondered what Montepulciano could be in Australian soil with the right hands at the helm - this is your answer. Bryan Martin doesn’t miss, and here he’s given this late-ripening Italian variety the full Ravensworth treatment. Grown in the cool, elevated Hilltops region, this is a wine that embraces its varietal roots while wearing its Aussie terroir with pride.

It’s inky, deep, and dark-fruited but never heavy-handed. The nose flickers between ripe blueberries, black cherry and wild herbs, with a subtle hint of earth and cocoa - think dark fruit rolled in cracked pepper and dried oregano. The palate is supple and juicy, with that hallmark Montepulciano acidity giving it great tension and food-friendliness. There’s a gentle chew of tannin and a long, savoury tail.

Aged for two years in large-format Stockinger oak, it’s polished, not flashy. A top pick for pizza nights, long lunches, or tucking away for five to ten years.

2023 Ravensworth Regional Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre

Bryan Martin has a knack for turning classic blends on their head, and this Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre is a perfect example. Rather than chasing sheer power, he’s built a mid-weight red that’s fragrant, supple and impossible not to enjoy.

The fruit comes from the Hilltops and Murrumbateman, with a splash of Mourvèdre from Hilltops. The result is a wine that feels complete: lifted and perfumed, showing red and dark fruits, spice, and that silky Ravensworth texture we can’t get enough of.

It’s a Rhône-inspired blend but very much stamped with Bryan’s style – lighter on its feet, balanced, and made for the table. Drink it young, while it’s bright and juicy, or give it a few years to build a little more depth.

Another smart, delicious addition to the Ravensworth Regional range, and one we’ll be reaching for often.

2024 Ravensworth Barbera & Nebbiolo

Here’s a wine that walks right out of the Hilltops and straight into Piedmont with a distinctly Ravensworth twist. Bryan Martin blends Barbera and Nebbiolo here with all the charm and cleverness you’d expect, delivering a wine that’s bright, savoury, and seriously moreish.

Barbera brings its juicy red fruit, vibrant acidity, and easy charm, while Nebbiolo steps in with florals, spice, and a bit of muscle to rein it all in. It’s a classic pairing - lifted aromatics, plush cherry fruit, and that firm-but-fine Nebbiolo grip tying it all together. Bryan reckons it’s “a little more serious for the process” this year, and it shows in the wine’s structure and depth.

Medium-bodied, food-friendly and wildly versatile, this is the kind of red you bring to a dinner party and end up fielding questions about all night. Delicious now, and will hold its shape beautifully over the next few years.

"Our tilt at the wonderful Lange blends from Piemonte. Barbera is just so juicy and zesty, the introduction of the more serious Nebbiolo tames this acidity and adds a wash of fine tannin. Like mash and gravy, they just work.

2024 Ravensworth Regional Sangiovese

This is Bryan Martin’s ever-popular, ever-delicious take on Sangiovese, pulled together from a handful of vineyards across Canberra District and Hilltops. The fruit is picked with freshness in mind, keeping that trademark sangio crunch and brightness.

In 2024, the grapes saw a mix of whole berries and whole bunches in the ferment, giving the wine both juicy fruit and a gentle savoury lift. Maturation was mostly in old oak, just enough to soften the edges without dulling the freshness.

The result is light on its feet but still has that sangio grip and tangy acidity that makes it such a good food wine. Think pizza, pasta, anything with tomato – it just works. It’s not trying to be big or flashy, but it’s got character in spades and drinks beautifully young.
