Daylesford has a rich history in wine production dating from the 1860s. In 1892 there were 30 growers. Our vineyard is family owned, and the vines were planted by hand in 1999.

Our wines are grown at altitude [620 m above sea level]. We are one of the coldest grape growing vineyards in Australia, producing high-quality cool climate wines with high natural acidity and intense yet elegant structure. We use dry farming methods and utilise responsible growing techniques, spraying routines and environmentally sustainable practices. We hand pick our grapes and use local wine makers

Tasting notes:

Pinot Gris 

Bright straw colour with aromas of citrus and pear with a strong acid drive and a fresh mineral taste on the palate. Finely textured tannins and lingering acidity. Perfect to accompany Asian foods, chicken and fish. “The red wine drinkers white wine” 

Chardonnay 

Light gold/green colour with an intense nose. It has lively fruit characters with a long clean and dry fruit driven finish on the palate with hints of lime and lemon evident. This wine would complement fish and chicken dishes A wine on the way back.
