Belvoir Park Estate

Belvoir Park Estate is a boutique vineyard and winery located in Bendigo, a select red grape growing region in Australia. Wines are handcrafted on the estate with a commitment to excellence. Sustainable vineyard practices and naturally low yielding vines produce quality fruit with intense flavours. Traditional winemaking techniques and minimal intervention ensure our wines are fruit driven and elegant in style.

 

Bulong Estate

Bulong Estate is a family owned and run vineyard, winery and restaurant. Situated in the Upper Yarra Valley just off the Warburton Highway. Their cellar door and restaurant is surrounded by a mature vineyard and has superb views to Mount Donna Buang and the Yarra Ranges. The 33 hectare vineyard is planted in a natural amphitheatre, featuring north facing, well drained slopes with an elevation of 140 meters above sea level. The area is recognised as being one of the best in the Yarra Valley for the production of cool climate grapes of distinction.

 

Celestial Bay

Celestial Bay is situated in Wilyabrup of the Margaret River region located on Metricup Road 2km west from the Bussell Highway. Originally a dairy farm, Celestial Bay comprises 52 hectares that feature all the necessary characteristics for successful viticulture- good soil, a moderate maritime climate and a reliable rainfall. Inspired by a fierce passion for winemaking, perfectionists Michael and Kim O’Brien purchased the land in 1999 with the goal to produce exclusive, boutique wines of outstanding quality.

In the vineyard, grapes are grown in a mixture of red brown alluvial loam, gravelly loam and mungite soils. Climatically, the proximity of the Indian Ocean creates a unique maritime environment that eliminates temperature extremes throughout the summer, facilitating full flavour ripening of the fruit.

The name Celestial Bay is derived from the indigenous meaning of Metricup, the road on which the winery is located. For the local aborigines, metricup means ‘a place where ghosts dwell.’ From this, Celestial Bay was born; a synergy of earth, moon, sun and water.

 

De Bortoli

De Bortoli Wines is a family-owned wine company established in 1928 by Vittorio De Bortoli. The winemaking team is overseen by third generation winemaker Darren De Bortoli and his brother-in-law Steve Webber. The winemaking philosophy is that great wine begins in the vineyard and that the winemaker should use minimal handling and interference in the winery. Wine should have a sense of regionality and be an expression of the soil in which it is grown. Our winemakers strive to create wines that they find interesting and exciting – wines that may be quirky or unusual but wines that above all have provenance and a sense of place.

De Bortoli has wineries in diverse wine growing regions, each with its own regional style, as well as vineyards in the King Valley. The Bilbul winery produces the acclaimed Noble One, world class fortified wines and premium varietal and sparkling wines. The relatively cool climate Yarra Valley is known for the classic varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sauvignon, Riesling and Viognier. The Hunter Valley is famous for its distinctive Semillon and Shiraz styles which have character, personality and the ability to age gracefully. The King Valley is rapidly developing a reputation for its Mediterranean varietal wines including Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Pinot Grigio.

 

Ross Estate

When you first visit the Barossa Valley you obtain an overwhelming feeling of old-world charm and a rich, colourful history. You’ll find the idyllic lifestyle is alluring, community pride unsurpassed and of course, most famously, world class wines. And in the midst of all this lies Ross Estate Wines, a family owned winery, creating traditional boutique wines from century old vineyards, handcrafted in a modern state-of-the-art facility.

The story of Ross Estate dates back (as far as can be ascertained) to the end of the 19th century when it was a general farm with vineyards and a cemetery. In that cemetery lies William Jacob who, with his brother John, in 1885 established the Barossa Valley’s first vineyard and winery. Nearby is Hoffnungsthal, the site of the first Silesian settlement (1847) where the small farming community worked hard to establish themselves only to be defeated by floods.

Current owners, Darius and Pauline Ross, fell in love with the 110 acre property in the early 90’s and invested in their life long passion for wine. Together, after years of hard work, they have created a splendid estate. Darius designed the Polish inspired winery and cellar door, surrounded by lawns and rose gardens. The winery opened its doors just prior to the 1998 vintage and soon after a beautiful sandstone cellar door complete with private tasting room was added.

With extensive knowledge from former winemaker Rod Chapman, current senior winemaker Neville Falkenberg, of Penfold’s fame, and budding young winemaker Alex Peel, Ross Estate Wines has set the benchmark for boutique winemaking and continually producing award winning wines of outstanding consistent quality.

 

 

Palandri

Rated 4 Stars by James Halliday

Palandri Winery, a member of 3 Oceans Wine Company, is one of Australia’s youngest and most dynamic wine companies. In James Hallidays’ latest issue of Australian Wine Companion, the wine and winery was rated a prestigious 4 stars. Based in the heart of the premium Margaret River region in Western Australia, is supported by WA’s largest single stand-alone vineyard in the Frankland River area.

From the state-of-the-art Winery and Cellar Door facility, 3 Oceans Wine Company distributes its award winning wines throughout Australasia, the United Kingdom (servicing both the UK and Europe) and more recently, China.

Our most current award is a prestigious GOLD MEDAL at the Sheraton Wine Awards for the 2007 Vita Novus Cabrnet Sauvignon.

 

Red Hill Estate

A boutique Australian multi-award winning wine producer situated on a stunning property little more than an hour from Melbourne in an internationally recognized cool climate region on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
Red Hill Estate’s mild maritime climate is perfect for growing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio and a variety of other grapes for still and sparkling table wines of the highest quality.

 

All Saints Estate

Great wine comes from the soil and speaks of where it is from. At All Saints Estate the deep sandy-loam soils were carved from the granite of the mountains and then ground, mixed and shaped by our majestic river Murray. Vines planted more than 85 years ago reach deep down for essential minerals and nutrients, drawing out the very essence of the place and concentrating it in each year’s harvest of grapes.
Our pride and joy are the oldest vineyard blocks; the Midflat Shiraz and Old Muscat, both planted just after the First World War. These old-timers are picture-postcard vines, weather-beaten and twisted, defying the years to produce fantastic fruit.
With careful nurturing we aim to bring the best from our vineyards, tending the vines that grow the fruit for our Estate and Family Cellar wines.
