James' Review
The Moores Hill Estate vineyard (jointly owned by winemaker Julian Allport with Fiona Weller and Tim and Sheena High) consists of pinot noir, riesling, pinot gris and chardonnay, with a very small amount of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. The vines are located on a northeast-facing hillside, 5km from the Tamar River and 30km from Bass Strait.
About
Planted in 1997 on the slopes of the Tamar Valley, Moores Hill was purchased in 2008 by Julian Allport, Fiona Weller & Lance Weller.
A winemaker, Julian also manages the vineyard while wife Fiona handles cellar door sales and marketing.
In its short history, wines from Moores Hill have won numerous accolades, building the estate a firm reputation as a producer of consistent quality.
