At In Dreams Wines, their commitment to crafting exceptional wines is reflected in every bottle. With a focus on balance and purity of fruit, their vineyards in the cool-climate Upper Yarra region contribute minerality and vibrancy, while the valley floor vineyards provide a plush, fruity character. It is this meticulous selection of grapes that forms the foundation of their remarkable blends.
Embracing a hands-off philosophy, In Dreams Wines believes in allowing the fruit to take centre stage, rather than imposing a heavy winemaker's touch. From handpicking the grapes in the vineyard to utilizing minimal new oak and bottling the wines unfined, they employ techniques that accentuate the quality of the fruit. The result is wines that showcase the true essence of their origin.
The story of In Dreams Wines began with Anthony's unexpected revelation during a casual gathering. Realizing that a bottle of wine remained untouched amidst the beer cans, he embarked on a new career path. Hailing from Wollongong, NSW, Anthony pursued his winemaking studies at Charles Sturt University and kickstarted his journey with Mount Pleasant in 2002. Fuelled by his passion for cool-climate wine, he later ventured to the Yarra Valley, working with renowned producers like Giant Steps, Mac Forbes, and Medhurst. Along the way, he gained invaluable experience through vintages in Burgundy, Piedmont, and Baden.
Embracing the beauty of their surroundings, In Dreams Wines has collaborated with graphic designer Kim Senekal to create captivating labels. Inspired by the scenic landscapes surrounding the Upper Yarra vineyards, Kim's linocut-inspired illustration style exudes an organic and rustic character. The unrefined strokes and sense of movement bring the artwork to life, capturing the ephemeral nature of a dream. Each label tells a story, allowing viewers the freedom to explore and interpret the hidden creatures and details within the landscape.
