The softly rolling Moutere Hills are formed from the weathered gravels of an ancient river system, which originally reached from St Arnaud to the coast. The gravel threaded clay soils are renowned for producing wines of richness and texture. The Pinot Noir is deeply flavoured with fine tannins and elegance. The Chardonnay is complex, multi faceted with excellent structure. Winemakers also produce excellent Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and more recently Pinot Gris.

Waimea means ‘river gardens’ in Maori – with stony soils of alluvial origin, high sunshine hours and a moderating maritime influence, the Waimea Plains provide a great terroir. The aromatic whites are vibrant wines, with a flinty backbone acting as a counterpoint to the overt fruit flavours, while the Chardonnay here is richly expressive with fine acid structure. The Pinot Noir is perfumed with plum and cherry characters on the nose and the ripeness carrying through to the supple tannins on the palate.

An attractive boutique vineyard in the Richmond foothills, offering Cellar Door tastings, café, country lunch and platters. Also featuring our macadamias and olives. Bookings welcome.Open: Summer: Wednesday - Sunday 11.00am - 3.00pmClosed: Monday, Tuesday, Public Holidays.Please check our web page or answerphone to confirm open dates.
