James' Review

Vitto Oles and Candi Westney run this tiny, cool-climate vineyard situated at the southern end of the Strathbogie Ranges, which in fact falls in the Upper Goulburn region. They have planted 1.6 ha of shiraz and 0.4 ha of viognier, growing the vines with minimal irrigation and preferring organic and biodynamic soil treatments. Vitto is also a fine furniture designer and maker, with a studio at Rocky Passes.

About this winery

Rocky Passes Estate is a boutique vineyard, winery and cellar door that was inspired by the cosy simplicity of the cantinas of Argentina and chicherias of Peru. It is also the home of Vitto Oles’ furniture-making studio. Both Rocky Passes’ wine and furniture-making are grounded in the Artisan tradition but embrace new technology where it doesn’t compromise the final result. Enjoy a tapas lunch in the courtyard or inside the tasting room ... or have your special event catered for.
