Dalrymple Vineyards

Dalrymple was established by the Mitchell and Sundstrup families; the vineyard and brand were acquired by Hill-Smith Family Vineyards in late '07. Peter Caldwell has been responsible for the vineyard, viticulture and winemaking since '10. He brought with him 10 years’ experience at Te Kairanga Wines (NZ) and 2 years with Josef Chromy Wines. His knowledge of pinot noir and chardonnay is comprehensive. In Dec ’12 Hill-Smith Family Vineyards acquired the 120ha property on which the original Frogmore Creek Vineyard was established; 10ha of that property is pinot noir specifically for Dalrymple. -JAMES HALLIDAY
