Do you love older wines, particularly those that have been cellared with care?
Passing Clouds is to open its doors for a rare cellar and museum wine release for one weekend only.
The family-owned Macedon Ranges producer - located at Musk, outside Daylesford - is planning a mini festival of decades of back vintages, cellar treasures and wines not offered to the public since their original release date, in some cases over 50 years ago.
From July 17–19, the Leith family will unlock its significant museum wine collections, offering visitors access to carefully cellared wines.
Some have never previously been available for sale.
And because many of the wines come from tiny remaining cellar parcels, once sold they will never be released again.
Owner Cameron Leith said the weekend is about sharing the winery's history.
“For decades we've carefully cellared wines because we believed they still had stories to tell," he says.
“Rather than keeping them hidden forever, we wanted people to experience them as they were intended - with family, friends and good conversation.”
Attendees will also be able to compare mature museum wines with younger vintages, demonstrating the ageing potential of Passing Clouds wines.
There will be a $20 tasting fee, refundable on any wine purchase.
