We’re a proud fifth and sixth generation winegrowing family, having established our patch of vines on our special, north-facing site in Granton back in 1990. Prior to that, Steve’s father Mario grew vines and made wine in South Australia, and their ancestors in Italy before that. The vineyard lifestyle we’ve chosen is rhythmic and cyclical, and we’ve learned to value the
little things in the vineyard as well as hard work and a well-earned, rustic family meal. We love sharing this spirit of family with our visitors and valued members.
Our much sought-after wines are the result of a passionate unrelenting quest for perfection. This passion, along with free thinking and attention to detail allows us to create wines which reflect this vision. Our focus on traditional and environmentally sensitive principals has only strengthened our desire to create wines that have a unique and distinctive character, with free-flowing elegance and quality.
With our innovative use of barrels, whole-bunch fermentation and wild yeasts, we hand craft a distinctive range of wines. With most of our 26ha estate planted to the two great Burgundian varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it’s no secret that with meticulous vineyard craftsmanship and sympathetic and thoughtful winemaking, our wines have earned a reputation as some of most revered and desirable in Australia.
Indeed, the fact that our Pinot Noirs have won Best Biodynamic Wine in the World at the prestigious London International Wine Challenge on three separate occasions is testament to the special site of which we’re the lucky caretakers, and the expressions of purity that we’re able to offer from Tasmania to family tables around the world.
We hope you’ll get as much enjoyment out of our wines as we’ve put into making them.
