Cleveland wines have 8 labels under its brand.

Cleveland 2003 Reserve Red
We blended three grape varieties Shiraz, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir to produce a wine of quality ready to drink but also capable of being cellared for up to 6 years. The Shiraz and Mourvedre were matured in American oak while the Pinot Noir was matured in new French oak. This blending is quite unusual but we achieved a wine of exceptional balance of primary fruit, oak and acidity. The tannins from the Shiraz although firm are subtly masked by the Pinot Noir producing a suppleness not usually associated with a Shiraz.

Cleveland 2005 Pinot Noir
The Cleveland 2005 vintage Pinot Noir is a delicate wine displaying red berry flavours balanced with fine oak tannins giving it a soft and silky finished.

Cleveland Macedon Sunrise
This is the first Rose made from Cleveland Vineyard using Pinot Noir fruit. The harvest date was May 4th, 2005 picked at 12.0 Baume to produce a medium bodied style. The wine’s musty pink hues celebrate a classic rose style. The lifted fruit aroma of cherries is followed by a rounded fruit feel on the palate. This wine will match well with canapés or seafood.

This is our first release of Cleveland Cabernet Merlot from grapes grown in the famous Heathcote area of Central Victoria.
