Brindabella Hills vineyard was established in 1986 on volcanic soils above the Murrumbidgee River 25 Km northwest of Canberra.We chose this area because of its well-drained gravelly soils and ridge-top position ensuring good air drainage allowing a degree of frost protection in all but extreme conditions.There are climatic similarities between our vineyard and other premium wine growing areas of Australia and Europe - the Adelaide Hills in South Australia, Rioja in Spain, Provence in France and Tuscany in Italy. Our challenge has been the major variability of rainfall and the drought of the past ten years.We make our wines on site from fruit grown on our 5 Ha vineyard plus small parcels of fruit from nearby vineyards.Our new Mediterranean cellar door opened in 2009. Located on an escarpment 100m above the Murrumbidgee River, it offers breathtaking views of the river with the Brindabella Ranges in the background.
