Budburst is a rare opportunity to visit this vineyard.  A love of outdoor life and a passion for drinking quality wine, Barbara and Bob thought the obvious answer was to produce grapes and become part of the supply chain.  By the time they finally found a suitable site, prepared the ground, planted the rootlings, tended the delicate, young vines, their objectives were extended:  they HAD to produce their own wine.  They have developed a very small but highly successful vineyard producing multiple award winning wines.

Comprising only one hectare each of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir they produce Sparkling Macedon, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir.
Barbara & Bob have both undertaken viticulture courses and they do all the work including hand pruning.  They receive help from family and friends at harvest. To prevent damage to the grapes, the crop is hand harvested into small buckets and transported directly to the winery in these.  Barbara’s brother, Trefor Morgan of Mount Charlie Winery, makes table wine and David Cowburn from Kilchurn Wines makes their sparkling.

In 2003 they entered the Macedon Ranges Wine Exhibition and the 2001 Chardonnay won the ‘Best Chardonnay’ trophy, winning a gold, silver or bronze medal each subsequent year.  Medals have also been awarded for all their sparkling wines and for their pinot noir.

Be welcomed at the cellar door by Barbara and Bob sample their fine wines in a relaxed, informal environment.  Savour different vintages of wine to see how gracefully they age. While you are there admire the magnificent views.
