Yarra Junction Vineyard

High Altitude

Our Yarra Junction vineyard was selected for its high altitude, which offers great character to the exclusive Pinot Noir vines. The site boasts a 4.4ha vineyard planted entirely to pinot noir with an impressive clonal mix. Our Chardonnay is sourced from premium sites across the upper Yarra region.

Made only when vintage conditions are in perfect harmony, the single site selections represent a strong single region, single vineyard winemaking philosophy.

Hand-Pruned, Hand-Harvested

Our vines are hand-pruned, hand-harvested and low yield. When weather and vintage follow the absolute desire of the grapes, we are able to make exceptional single-site wines that showcase what the vineyards are capable of, including:
