Welcome,
The Estate is located 10km south east of Hamilton in the Henty Wine Region of Victoria, Australia. The vineyards are situated on the foothills of Mount Pierrepoint between Hamilton and Tarrington at an altitude of 200m and an average rainfall of 700mm. The first vines to be planted were Pinot Noir, and subsequently Pinot Gris and Chardonnay vines have been planted. The predominantly red buckshot soils of the vineyard are derived from ancient volcanic basalt which is rich in minerals and is free draining. The vines are situated on a north facing slope, and are hand pruned and de-budded to ensure they are balanced to ripen the following seasons' fruit. Andrew and Jennifer's children, Alexandra (14) & Nicholas (11) are being raised on the estate, and are involved in all aspects of grape growing and wine making.
