The Story Wines was established in 2004 by Rory Lane, selecting grapes from small, older vineyards in the Grampians region of Western Victoria. Rory's story isn't the classic one. He wasn't born into a wine family, he didn't make a small fortune in other business before turning his eye to wine, but rather he started small, with fruit from regions he was most passionate about and transported them to a small suburban winery on the outskirts of Melbourne. In a short time Rory has built a reputation for producing soulful wines, that speak of there regions, they aren't over handled and across the range you see a consistent theme of freshness, balance and drinkability.
"It's fragrant, it's smoky, it's spicy, and it's moreish. This wine is definite in its desire to sit on the savoury side of the equation, but its pretty, red-berried-fruit characters mean that there's something here for everyone. A touch of reduction works positively here, as do herb-infused tannins, as do inflections of roasted chestnuts." 93pts | Campbell Mattinson | Halliday Wine Companion
