Ballarat, Victoria
This is one of THE pinots of Australia - James Halliday rated this Pinot as his best !
There are 4 in their range of Pinot Noir with the The Tomboy being a single vineyard wine and The Rebellion being a blend from other Ballarat vineyards yet both are such nice wines ! We have also recently received some Ava's Picking and Smythes Creek, which are both sensational.
The Chardonnay is also available in several ways with the principal winebeing the Goldfields and again the Rebellion in this series again being a local blend.




Owen & Robyn Schmidt established their vineyard in the rolling hills over looking Bass Strait in Koonwarra South Gippsland in 1999. Their wines are typical cool climate style with emphasis on quality rather than quantity with the Pinots in particular being outstanding examples of what a cool region can produce given careful use of even base material and the right weather!
David & Wendy Lloyd purchased this most picturesque of vineyards in 1995 which features some of the most spectacular views of the Mornington Peninsula. The vineyard is 225 meters above sea level and is on rich terra rossa volcanic loam on a northerly facing slope hence sheltering it from harsh winds and allowing a long cool ripening period.
