ABOUT THE WINERY:
Regarded as one of the most iconic wine producers in Victoria, Dalwhinnie produces some of the most highly regarded wines in Australia. The first vines were planted in 1976 and the estate is now home to a fully mature, dry-grown, 16-hectare vineyard.
The estate is located near the small village of Moonambel in the heart of the Pyrenees region of western Victoria. At 595 metres above sea level, Dalwhinnie is the highest and most remote of the Pyrenees region's vineyards. Surrounded and sheltered by the highest mountain range, this unique bowl of vines is located in a naturally undulating trough which falls away from the hills, forming an amphitheatre nestled into the ranges.
