Wines
At Mulyan, we believe that the quality of our wines is established in the vineyard.
We work closely with the existing environmental constraints, such as temperature, soil profiles and water, and develop our pruning, spraying and irrigation regime accordingly.
We conserve water where we can, ensuring that the vineyard is mulched in order to minimise loss of moisture. Likewise, water from any crop irrigation is recycled via tail end channelling and diverted back to the crops or vines.
We work closely with other likeminded winemakers and vignerons in the region to develop environmental sustainability. This partnership aims to share, build and apply our sustainable viticultural practices with benefits not only for our businesses, but to the sustainability of the Cowra region and Lachlan Valley catchment.
There are two ranges of wines under the Mulyan label - The Mulyan range, and the Bushrangers Bounty.
The Mulyan wines are single vineyard wines, and in some instances such as the 'Block 9' Shiraz Viognier, and 'Block 7' Chardonnay, single parcel wines made from small, select parcels of fruit.
The wines are made with a clear philosophy of showcasing the regions intense fruit characteristics, with minimal winemaker interaction and a careful, balanced use of oak.
The Bushrangers Bounty range of wines comprises a Cowra Chardonnay and Cowra Shiraz. These wines take their name from John Fagan's lucky escape from the holding up of the Gold Coach near Eugowra by infamous Bushrangers, Ben Hall and Frank Gardiner.
Ben Hall's fate was sealed that day, and he subsequently died under a hail of police bullets in 1865.
Frank Gardiner, Ben Hall's co-conspirator, absconded to Queensland but was soon caught and spent 8 years in gaol before he left the colony for San Francisco.
With only half the gold ever recovered, it can only be imagined the fate of this bushrangers bounty.
