Winery Overview
YARRA VALLEY - Cool by nature
Australia’s premier cool-climate wine region is situated less than 50km from the heart of Melbourne, Australia’s most dynamic city and culinary capital.
A unique fusion of vibrant urban energy and spectacular natural beauty, with a 180-year industry legacy and unrivalled varietal versatility, the Yarra Valley is a magnet for the most talented and progressive winemakers and a prestigious atelier for very high quality, inspiring wines.
As one of the southern-most wine regions of mainland Australia, with over 80 wine producers and approximately 2,500 hectares of vineyard planted among the rolling hills of the Great Dividing Range, the vast range of microclimates are cooled by both oceanic and alpine influences.
Vineyard altitudes ranging from 50 to 430 metres, and soils from grey-brown sandy-loam, to red-volcanic, all add to diversity of style, and the unique ability of the region to produce truly world-class wines from almost all traditional, and many emerging varieties.
Yarra Valley Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon based table wines have long been celebrated for their intrinsic elegance, complexity and finesse and more recently, the region’s enduring Shiraz or ‘Syrah’ wines have also become Australian benchmarks.
Juxtaposed alongside the premium fruit supply for many of Australia’s traditional-method sparkling wine producers (being the Australian home of Chandon), are the award winning examples of late ripening Touriga Nacional and Nebbiolo wines grown on warmer sites.
The eclectic Yarra Valley wine community honours and is guided by its rich winemaking heritage. It is committed to a future shaped by innovation, responsibility and respect, carrying a strong ethos of land and river stewardship, collaborative and sustainable practices and recognition for the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as traditional custodians.
The Yarra Valley is special, aspirational and undeniably cool.
