The scorched site eventually came to the attention of a winemaking trio, the Messrs Leske, Tynan & Cooke, Masters of Wine and a venerable vintner, all driven by a consuming passion to make greater Grenache. Thistledown vintage very small amounts of the most extraordinary Grenache. Beautifully detailed and conspicuously elegant, their floral bouquets and graceful finish emulate the aromatic lift and peacock's tail of a prettily perfumed Pinot Noir.

Underground are inspired by the possibilities of unexplored combinations, Underground seek to express the fundamental qualities of the grape

Underground Winemakers was established in 2006 at Mt Eliza by former T’Gallant employees, Adrian Hennessy, Peter Stebbing, and Jonothan Stephens. At that time the venture had no resources other than a collective wine industry experience of over 30 years and a resourceful, hands on determination. The vision was simple; source the right grapes and make quality, approachable wines which are true to style and expressive of variety. Underground take pride in their hands on approarch to vitticulture and winemaking, offering a range of individual, expressive wines which are true to variety and an honest reflection of the land.

Underground

Following this philosophy, Underground is not restricted to a single region. The Mornington Peninsula provides Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, while Central and Northern Victoria supply Durif, Shiraz, Cabernet and Brown Muscat. All wines are made and bottled at the Mt Eliza Winery, giving Underground complete control over winemaking input. Packaging and presentation of the entire range is contemporary, designed to reflect both the quality of the wine and its individual character.
