Oakridge WinesWelcome to Oakridge, a family-owned, Yarra Valley winery, restaurant and cellar door, originally established in 1978 alongside a ridge of oak trees. Pioneering the wine growing region of the upper Yarra Valley, today Oakridge is an award winning winery and an internationally recognised name. Oakridge wines can be found on restaurant menus, in bottle shops and for purchase online, but there is no better place to taste than at our home in the heart of the Yarra Valley; an hour’s drive from Melbourne, in Coldstream off the Maroondah Highway. Today, Oakridge is still a family owned company, supported by the Atlas/D’Aloisio family since 2007. David Bicknell, a man who has been described as “the best maker of Chardonnay in the world” is our Chief Winemaker. In 2012, amongst numerous awards and accolades, Oakridge was voted Australian Winery of the Year in The Age & Sydney Morning Herald Good Wine Guide. In 2013, the winery clinked champagne glasses in celebration of the new Oakridge restaurant and cellar door opening to the public. Designed by architect Denton, Corker and Marshall, the stunning new building solidified Oakridge’s place as a must-visit Yarra Valley destination.

Purple Hen WineryWe are located on a small peninsula on Phillip Island, overlooking the Bay of Western Port with beautiful views of Swan Inlet, Churchill Island and Denne Bight. Purple Hen began in 2001 when Rick Lacey and Maira Vitols purchased the property - 32 hectares of prime grazing land. Planting of vines began in January 2002 with the first vintage in 2004. An on-site winery was established in 2005 and the Cellar Door opened at Easter 2006. In the ensuing years we have expanded the vineyard to its current 7.5 hecatres and established an enviable record for producing elegant and strongly varietal wines – winning over 100 Medals and 20 Trophies at wine shows in Australia. Phillip Island is best known for its tourist attractions such as the penguins, seals and koalas. We hope it will become increasingly recognised for possessing one of the best climates in Australia for the growing of quality wines.

Maddens RiseThe Maddens Rise range of wines is focused on pure expression of the Yarra Valley region. Decisions are made based on the fruit itself, and the climatic variations of each and every season. Our consistent quality of wines comes from carefully managing this balancing act. Our wines are hand made. They are varietal, showing finesse and purity. At Maddens Rise, our philosophy is to maintain, preserve and where possible, ecologically enhance the natural vineyard environment by embracing the use of ‘biological’ farming practices. Our portfolio of exceptional estate-grown wines is a reflection or our commitment to this core set of values.

Jones Winery & Vineyard RutherglenJones Winery is one of the oldest and smallest wineries in the Rutherglen District. Established in 1860 by a German migrant named Fritz Ruhe this winery was the first winery in Rutherglen where the devastating louse phylloxera, that wiped out all the vineyards in Victoria, was discovered. Fritz Ruhe lived long enough to see the vineyard replanted and died in 1914 at the age of 85. It was William Ruhe (Fritz's son) who sold the winery to Clarence Carbery in 1925. He worked the property for two years before it was bought by Leslie Jones Senior (Jimmy). The property known as Jones Winery & Vineyard has remained in the Jones Family ever since. Les Jones Jnr took over the running of the property in 1979 when his father passed away. He carried on running the winery and vineyard just like his father did before him. A cellar door sales area was added and the winery was extended during this time. Les retired in 1998. Currently Jones Winery and Vineyard is owned by the brother and sister team of Arthur Jones and Mandy Jones. They have been working the 75 hectare property since 1998 after taking over from their Uncle. The owners are the children of Les's only sibling Douglas (a Winemaker for Seppelts in Rutherglen until 1984). Having grown up surrounded by wine some of it rubbed off - whilst each one of them had followed a different career path initially, the call of wine and in particular Rutherglen was just a little bit to hard to resist.

Best's Wines Pty LtdIn 1866, Henry Best purchased 73 acres of land in Great Western and a property named Concongella. With the first vines planted in 1867, Best’s became a functioning winery by 1869. Meanwhile in 1893, Scottish born William Thomson settles in the Great Western districts and purchases a winery at Rhymney. By 1907, the Best’s trademark is registered, one of the first Australian wine companies to do so. In 1913, Henry Best aged 81 passed away and was laid to rest in the Great Western cemetery. In 1920, William Thomson and son Frederick Pinchon purchase the Best’s vineyards and winery for £10,000. In 1924, William Thomson died, passing the property to his son Frederick, who looked after it during The Great Depression of the 1930s. In 1908, Frederick (Eric) Hamill Thomson was born, forming the third generation. Then in 1938, a son Eric Vivian (Viv) Hamill Thomson was born, the fourth generation of the Thomson family. Frederick Pinchon Thomson died in Hong Kong in 1949. In 1961, Viv joined the family winery for his first vintage. A son, Benjamin Hamill Thomson arrived in 1964 as the start of the fifth generation of Thomson’s. A decade later in 1974, Viv oversaw the relocation of The Stables Cellar Door to allow for expansion and the cellar door as we now know it was erected. One year later in 1975, Viv appointed the first ‘external’ winemaker of Best’s Great Western, Trevor Mast, who would go on to be known as one of Australia’s greatest ever winemakers. Viv Thomson became President of Victorian Wine Association in 1982 and continued his role as an active National Wine Show Judge. In 1988, Simon Clayfield was appointed Best’s winemaker.

Warramunda EstateWarramunda Estate is located at Coldstream in the Yarra Valley, one of Australia’s most-famed cool climate wine regions. The Warramate Hills create a natural, vineyard-lined amphitheatre – a drawcard for wine lovers the world over – renowned for its terroir-driven wines. The mild, temperate climate of warm summers, crisp winters and generous July rainfalls creates the ideal environment for premium wine grapes. Much of the estate straddles bedrock composed of shelving sedimentary sandstone that, in turn, produces a series of unique sub and topsoils, all of which resonate though the groundwater, the vines and, ultimately, the vintages. Warramunda Estate sits atop a range of varying topsoils, underpinned by an ancient sandstone cap, which produces a distinct terroir infusing the vineyard’s complex soil structures. The estate’s wines reflect the vineyard’s complex geology and micro-climate – the unmistakable taste, the terroir of the Yarra Valley.

Squitchy Lane Vineyard“I always wanted to be involved in a winery that was in the boutique style; in other words, big enough to make an impact, but small enough to allow for hands-on at every aspect of the wine-making process,” he said. “Having spent most of my life in Melbourne, it was natural this place would be in the Yarra Valley. Not only is it a beautiful environment, it is proven to produce world class wines, from an array of locations across the valley. When Domaine Chandon put down its roots in the Valley that showed to me how the world’s best brands and winemakers rated the Valley. “So, when the opportunity came up, in 1996 (basking in the glow of a Carlton premiership the previous year!!) to purchase the property, with its “old” vines already producing great fruit, and a great location for a tasting room, it was a natural fit. And, with such established vineyards as

Bellbrae EstateBellbrae Estate Winery was established in 1999 on a beautiful section of rolling hills, five minutes from world famous Bells Beach, in the Surf Coast region of Victoria. Originally planted to grapes around 150 years ago by Swiss settlers, at one stage the area from Bellbrae to Geelong and beyond was one of Australia’s largest wine growing regions. For most of the 20th century, however, the land had reverted to grazing but the wonderful climate and the enticing north facing slopes led us to plant the first vineyards here for over 100 years – better late than never! The wines we produce all have strong varietal character with excellent flavour intensity. Our flagship Bellbrae Estate wines are the pinnacle of our releases. Made only in the better years they exhibit the best of our vineyards plus high levels of care and commitment in the winery. Quality French oak and traditional winemaking techniques add to the excellence of this range. They are wonderfully drinkable now but are all made to benefit from further cellaring. The Longboard range of wines are a true expression of the region with their exuberant flavours and are a great match for our local produce. Made more to drink now, they are all bursting with freshness and taste, perfect for the relaxed lifestyle we love here on the Surf Coast. Our logo, the names given to the Bellbrae Estate Wines and the image on the Longboard range highlight the extraordinary coastline we share, the incredible surf breaks and the iconic local surfers from the region.
