Our secret is in the Dookie dirt.
VINEYARD
Deep rich red volcanic soil.
Geologists, academics, farmers, and locals who know Dookie, all marvel at the fabric of the deep volcanic, rich Cambrian soil and regional terroir.
There is magic in the soil in which our vines grow. The quality of the earth, climate and the mesoclimate of flora and fauna around our vines combine to make an ideal foundation for winemaking.
Our philosophy is that great wines are made in the vineyard and careful nurturing of our vines will lead to the creation of wines of integrity and quality. In our viticulture, we are attentive to the grapes as they form and ripen but we don’t need to meddle with the growing cycle or pressure the vines for greater yields.
It’s a privilege to produce wines from this special place and share them with you.
Share the love. Join the club.

Our vineyard is located on Yorta Yorta country, in the rich red Dookie Hills on the North Eastern edge of Central Victoria, a region once at the forefront of Victoria’s wine industry.
