Bird on a Wire Wines

This is the full-time business of winemaker Caroline Mooney. She grew up in the Yarra Valley and has had other winemaking jobs in the valley for over 10 years. The focus is on small, single-vineyard sites owned by growers committed to producing outstanding grapes. Having worked at the legendary Domaine Jean-Louis Chave in the '06 vintage, she has a special interest in shiraz and marsanne, both grown from distinct sites on a single vineyard in the Yarra Glen area. -JAMES HALLIDAY
