Battely
Battely is situated in North East Victoria, a region celebrated for its cool-climate intensity and structured reds. The winery focuses on varieties that thrive in this distinctive terroir: Petite Sirah, Durif, and Shiraz. The Sojourn, a Petite Sirah, represents the winery's commitment to this varietal, earning recognition from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff. Durif and Syrah round out the core portfolio, both drawing on the region's capacity for deep color, ripe tannins, and aromatic complexity. North East Victoria's elevation and cool nights create conditions suited to these bold, structured wines—varieties that demand attention and reward cellaring.
