Affleck is owned by the Hendry family, the name a corruption of the Scottish achadh-nan-leac, which means field of stones, a property in Scotland occupied by the Hendry family for more than 250 years. Planting of the vineyard began in 1976, and there are now 4 ha of semillon, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot noir, shiraz, cabernet and merlot, with a small number of muscat vines. It is situated on the shale of the Lake George Escarpment, at an altitude of 800 m. Picking takes place around April/May, firmly putting it in the cool-climate brigade. Barbecue and picnic areas are available, but buses and groups only by appointment.
