Wintery rains sweep over Lutheran steeples and replenish the soil with moisture for the growing season ahead. Straw, native grasses and compost provide nutrients around vine trunks before the wait begins for spring’s burst of velvet buds. Summer and autumn bring warmth to the valley floor and the sun leads the path to deep crimson colours, smooth tannins and bold intense flavours — swathes of berry fruits, spices, liquorice, mocha, venison, tobacco and oak. 

Historic towns. Green plains. Lush paddocks. Home to some of the world’s oldest shiraz, cab sav and grenache vines. For 180 years wine has been a way of life among these rolling hills, full of history and hardship, where life revolves around the soil, climate and community.

A coastal oasis peppered with close intimate valleys, hinterland wineries, rugged shores dotted with seaside villages and a thick green blanket of native forest. Cooling breezes from Bass Strait blow clouds away and allow sunshine to work its magic in creating colour, tannins and aromatics. Old vines cascade with pinot noir and pinot gris and sit quietly on ancient rich red volcanic soils.

A fresh opening from juniper, angelica root, pink pepper and kelp act as a spicy palate cleanser before a slow avalanche of native kunzea and its warm honeyed tones is met with sage and crisp native white cypress. Strength and poise are provided by a dense forest of Australian sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver and birch tar.

This gentle and considered scent aims to showcase the vitality and terroir of the vineyards of this exceptional wine region located an hour south-east of Melbourne.

We acknowledge the Bunurong people, the Traditional Custodians of the Mornington Peninsula lands and waters and pay our respect to their elders past and present.

Everything from the Agrarian Kitchen begins in the garden. That was the starting point for this scent, the sweet earthy aroma of rich healthy soil. Treemoss, cedarwood and birch tar provide the foundation and the hint of smokiness is a small nod to the grill and hot smoker where faint white plumes are always in gentle attendance.

At its heart, this is a distinctly robust and savoury scent. Vegetables are the star attraction, with notes from carrot seed, bitter fennel and a rhubarb accord. There’s freshness from the citrus top notes of bergamot and orange which are paired with the comforting warmth of rosemary and the crisp spice of cardamom and ginger.

The soul of this candle is a deep, savoury, hands in the soil scent that pays homage to one of the nation’s leading culinary institutions that combines an exceptional kitchen garden, cooking school and restaurant.

Like all good collaborations, they begin with an idyllic summer lunch in a boatshed fuelled by gallons of rosé, watching yachts drift by as the pace of life grinds to an actual halt. My friend and Pittwater neighbour Richard Unsworth (landscape designer at Garden Life) hatched a plan to collaborate together and design a candle fragrance that would pair with Richard’s third book, The Natural Gardener.

This candle captures the essence of our many walks in the Ku Ring Gai, Richard’s garden at Trincomalee and his design ethos of working with plants that are sympathetic to the Australian environment.
