From the first vine planting in 1998, our family’s single estate vineyard has grown into a renowned multi-generational boutique producer of French-style wines. We are located on the hills above the picturesque town of Rylstone, an area we were drawn to for its similarity to the Burgundian terroir of our heritage.
From our family to you, bienvenue!
Visit Our Beautiful Hideaway
We’d love to share a slice of our beautiful hideaway with you, so why not visit our cellar door? The historic 1850s ‘Grafter Room’ is a beautiful converted sandstone stable with sweeping views of our vines – a special place to sit back, enjoy the wine and soak up vineyard life.

Great Wine Starts in the Vineyard
We believe great wine is made in the vineyard, and it all starts with terroir. Our exceptional terroir, the closest comparable in Australia to Burgundy & Champagne in France, and our ultra-cool climate, enables cultivation of outstanding grapes. Our enduring drive for quality is supported by our focus on terroir-driven cultivation & wine making; and precision viticulture and sustainability.

From Vine to Wine
Handcrafted from individually selected parcels of grapes from our single-vineyard estate, we seek to create wines with structure, elegance, flavour and food friendliness inspired by our family’s Burgundian heritage
