How to choose within the range
The estate's stated approach is "premium fruit, minimalist intervention" — producing the best possible fruit from the vineyard and turning it into the highest quality wine possible with minimal intervention. That philosophy shows up in the range as two tiers of the same varieties:
- Flagship tier ($45–$55): the Chardonnay 2024 and 2023, Pinot Noir 2025, and Cabernet Franc 2024. These are the wines the winery promotes most actively — its latest news highlights new reviews of the Chardonnay 2023 and Cabernet Franc 2024 from The Wine Front and Wine Pilot.
- Entry tier ($28–$35): Cottage Chardonnay 2025, Rosé 2024, and L'autre Pinot Noir 2024. These give you the same varieties at roughly half the flagship price.
If you want to compare the flagship Chardonnays directly, buying the 2024 ($55) and 2023 ($45) together costs $100 and clears the free-freight threshold. If you'd rather sample across varieties, the $210 Selection pack is the only bundled option listed.
Practical buying details
- Checkout: the site has a cart and checkout, so orders are placed online.
- Shipping: free Australia-wide on orders over $200; $15 freight on orders below $200. A single bottle or a two-bottle order will therefore attract the $15 charge, while any basket over $200 ships free.
- Visiting: the vineyard is open by appointment only. It sits at 885 Mt William Rd, Lancefield VIC 3435, at the end of a winding country road at the foot of Mount William, about 580 metres above sea level on the southern slopes of the Great Divide.
- Contact: phone 0490 257085.
Background worth knowing before you buy
The vineyard was originally planted in the mid-1980s and now grows five clones of Pinot Noir alongside Chardonnay — the two varieties the site's elevation and southern-slope position suit best. It's a small operation run by Howard Matthews and Nicki Ralph, and a proud member of the Macedon Ranges Vignerons' Association. The cool climate of the region is a point the winery itself treats as central to the style of its wines.
