| Gracedale Hills Estate was established in 1996 by Richard and Verna Gutch and family on their property situated on the Yarra River, ten kilometres from the township of Healesville in the Yarra Valley region of Victoria, Australia. Planted with only Chardonnay and Shiraz, the vineyard is ideally situated on a northeasterly facing gently sloping hill above the valley floor, providing excellent drainage and ripening potential. The aim is to produce only premium fruit and this has been achieved. A proportion of the fruit is supplied to McWilliams Wines and the Estate won the McWilliams inaugural “Grower of the Year Award” for 2004. The remaining fruit is made and bottled under the “Gracedale Hills” label. The fruit is hand picked, de-stemmed into open stainless steel fermentor as whole berries. |
