Winery Overview
EACH VINTAGE A NEW STORY TO TELL
The Story Wines is a boutique winery based in the suburbs of Melbourne, making wines from the Grampians and a collection of Victorian regions. Established in 2004 among the ‘new wave’ of young, ‘hands-off’ Victorian winemakers, The Story has built its reputation and quality to now be poured in Australia’s best restaurants and be recognised as a Five Star Producer by James Halliday’s Wine Companion.
Our unconventional origins are echoed in our production - our winery is located in the city suburbs rather than the rolling hills of wine country. This urban context means we are close to our customers, most of whom are restaurants and independent retailers, and allows us to draw inspiration from the great cultural diversity of the city. Our winemaking emphasises acidity and freshness, attempting to achieve moderate alcohol levels and bright aromas. Once our grapes arrive at the winery, they are gently destemmed (or not) and moved by gravity to small open fermenters where they ferment with ambient yeasts and as few additions as possible. Many have no additions other than sulphur dioxide, and the reds are typically bottled without any fining or filtration. Simple, hands-off winemaking.
