Barely a week goes by without someone launching a new wine brand, often with grandiose claims to uniqueness.
This is the second release of wines from the Cat and Frank label - the first time I have seen them - but these newcomers have a serious pedigree behind them.
Cat and Frank are Catia d'Anna and her father Franco, the winemaker behind multiple Yarra Valley labels including Hoddles Creek, Wickhams Road and 1er Yarra Valley, all labels known for quality and value for money. The family also owns highly-rated Boccaccio Cellars.
Distribution of the 2025 Cat and Frank Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is limited right now - but they will be well worth looking out for at $30 RRP.
Catia D’Anna (above) has been surrounded by vineyards and wineries all her life.
She completed a science degree and subsided her university lifestyle with working part time in the family's vineyards.
She has completed vintages at Brokenwood Wines and Craggy Range as well as alongside father Franco at Hoddles Creek Estate - learning a few tips and tricks along the way.
Franco is guiding Catia with sourcing select fruit from the Upper Yarra and transferring his winemaking finesse to her one step at a time, their website says.

The chardonnay has impressively McGrathian line and length and marries impressive clarity with interesting but subdued textural elements. My wife described it as “not overly fussy but sophisticated” - and poured herself another glass.
The pinot noir skips along the palate with youthful enthusiasm. This is a lovely cool-climate wine: aromatic with a beguiling balance between fruit and savoury notes. Delightful as a youngster.
