Tomboy Hill

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.

We were very pleased to be approached by a Wine Club Member to look at the wines from Buxton Ridge.The winery is of course very close to Marysville and to the quite appalling events that we are all very aware of and to then talk first hand to Michael one of the Owners and the wine maker just brought home again the truly dreadful scenes that so many faced as they watched a fire roar towards them.

Lyre Bird Hill

South Gippsland, Victoria

Lyre Bird Hill - South Gippsland, VICOwen & 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!

All of their wines are keenly priced and we note that the added advantage of their Guest House on the vineyard encourages people to explore this up and coming Victorian region.
