The Ladies who Shoot their Lunch 2021 Shiraz is one of those x-factor wines. We are proud to say we did everything right in the vineyard and winery, and the season was certainly on our side, but Mother Nature has given us another dimension: more depth, greater colour, more intricate aroma, brighter flavours, and incredible complexity.
When you create a wine like this, it tends to do very well. This wine has already been awarded 4 Gold medals.
November in the high country is special. The bush starts to come alive as we shed our winter coats. We become more active, and my mind always drifts to the mountain streams where we catch an abundance of wild trout.

This September, we’re offering exceptional value on our Farm to Table Sangiovese. Purchase a dozen bottles for the price of ten—an excellent chance to stock up on this remarkable wine.

This year marks our strongest showing yet, with an outstanding score of 95 points for our Upton Run 2022 Shiraz, Ladies who Shoot their Lunch 2021 Shiraz, and Stone Dwellers 2021 Mourvèdre.
Citrus adds a wonderful and intense punch of flavour to dishes and a zip on the tongue, which can make things really interesting when matching wine. One of our favourite things to do with citrus is to preserve it for the months to follow. Here is a recipe from our kitchen that you might like to try at home.
Did you know that most of Fowles vineyards were planted in 1996? We now have had decades to learn how the vines grow in and how to get the best out of them.
Our Farm to Table Shiraz, featured in Darren Purchese’s new range of pies, is just one example of the quality and craftsmanship that Fowles Wine is known for. This winter, we invite you to indulge in the delicious Beef Cheek & Shiraz Pie, exclusively available at Ferguson Plarre’s Bakehouse
After many years of trial and error, the favourite recipes continue to be black pepper and garlic, and roasted capsicum and chili. Last year, the roasted capsicum and chili salami won the trophy at Victoria’s Salami Festival for the best southern-style salami.
To pay homage to our farm during this period, for a limited time we have curated a value pack of Farm to Table Reds that can be purchased direct from our website and delivered to your door.
Celebrate International Rosé Day and Save with our Mixed Rosé Pack.
This pack includes an exclusive online release of the Ginger Price NV Sparking Rosé in a can!!
Our Stone Dwellers wines are the epitome of the Strathbogie Ranges. These wines have great purity, elegance and – most importantly – a great sense of place.
For a limited time, you can save while indulging in our Winter Red Wine Pack. Our specially curated selection of reds includes 3 bottles each of Sangiovese, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
It is a time to bunker down and recharge: we have packed down the winery after vintage, the vineyard is ‘asleep’ and lambs being born. Winter is a season for slowing down and sipping red wine by the fire!
It’s time to gather your loved ones and join us for a delightful four-course, shared-style lunch, including a glass of sparkling wine on arrival, and the opportunity to win a lucky door prize in the warmth of our Wine Shed.
Nestled in the picturesque Strathbogie Ranges, just a 90-minute drive from Melbourne, Fowles Wine is seeking a dedicated Vineyard Operator to join our esteemed team.
Our Are you Game? wines have been carefully blended to work with food and, in particular, wild game meat. The Are you Game? wines are a fun range of wines to make, as we tend to blend a lot of different varieties together to make the final wine
There is something about the Autumn season that makes me think of red wine and wild game. I’m not sure whether it is the cooler mornings, the turning leaves on the vines or the smell of the first fire at home. Any way you look at it, it gets me thinking about heartier food and wine.
These circumstances together – the ancient granite, the elevation, the relative absence of moisture during the growing season – have helped us achieve our Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certification which we did in late 2023.
We were thrilled to achieved our Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certification which acknowledges our approach to management in the vineyard and winery. This certification is recognition for our long-standing commitment to making wine ‘the right way’ and our mantra to ‘farm in nature’s image’.
Vintage 2024 is – without any doubt – my favourite vintage yet. I have now completed 19 vintages in the Strathbogie Ranges. Generally I have enjoyed them all, so it is surprising to feel so strongly about 2024. But Vintage 24 is my favourite for a few reasons…
Fieldsong is the embodiment of our commitment to biodiversity in the vineyard. It’s the story of our vineyard and our farm. Of a magical place where biodiversity breeds abundance.
Naturally at Fowles, our biggest focus is wine, but the other seasonal delight she dishes up at the end of summer is tomatoes.
Join us in our Tasting Room on a curated journey which connects wine and food in its most enjoyable form with a wine and food flight!
