Moppity Vineyards is located in Young, within the Hilltops wine region. The 170 acre vineyard sits at the highest elevation in the Hilltops and the 37 year old vines are among the oldest in the region. Since acquiring the vineyard in 2004, Jason and Alecia Brown have focused on producing medium-bodied wines that reflect the unique conditions of this high-altitude, cool-climate region.

Atrius named after the Atria constellation (“Southern Triangle” - referencing its three brightest stars located in the sky to our south west) The three most significant cool climate regions in Southern NSW are Canberra, Hilltops and Tumbarumba - its brightest stars - with Canberra at its heart. 

Blood plums and blue fruits with hints of cinnamon and Asian spices. The acidity from the Grenache and Mourvèdre bring an energy and brightness to the long palate.

This wine really is ridiculously enjoyable. Stump up and buy yourself some, because it’s a ripper. It’s wild with both aroma and flavour; it’s both savoury and sweet-fruited at once; it carries inflections of roasted nuts; and it finishes with a confident flourish. This is a modern, mid-weight, fine-tuned pearler. Alcohol: 13.5%; Price: $35.00; Closure: Screwcap; Rated: 95 Points; Campbell Mattinson
