Glenwillow Wines

Peter and Cherryl Fyffe began their vineyard at Yandoit Creek, 10km south of Newstead, in '99. They planted 1.8ha of shiraz and 0.3ha of cabernet sauvignon, later branching out with 0.6ha of nebbiolo and 0.1ha of barbera. Planted on a mixture of rich volcanic and clay loam interspersed with quartz and buckshot gravel, the vineyard has an elevated north-facing aspect, which minimises the risk of frost. The cellar door operates from Bendigo Pottery. -JAMES HALLIDAY
