[This winery may no longer be operating.] Ducks in a Row began in 2009 with a philosophy of “increasing the colours in the palette that paint your wine world.” Ducks in a Row wines are made from newer grape varieties to the Australian scene or varieties that might not get their fair share of the spotlight in the same context. Often called “alternative” or “fringe” varieties, the range of wines includes Vermentino, Fiano and Mataro, Nero D’Avola and a Tempranillo Graciano Mataro blend. Probably our best (or most talked about) wine is one made in a clay amphora and fermented on skins for seven months. A blend of Heathcote Vermentino, Fiano and Moscato Giallo from the 2011 vintage. We’re intrigued by the results of wine made this way and have committed to making more.
