Vintage Notes:

2021 was another cool year, highlighting elegance and souppplenes.

It was a long late season and patience was required in the vineyard for the grapes to acheive perfect maturity.

As has been the case in recent years, careful fruit sorting in the vineyard by the winemaking team at picking was essential to deliver pristine fruit. 

About Gembrook Hill:

It was 1983 when Ian and June Marks found their vineyard site after a long search for the perfect pocket of land throughout almost every wine region in Victoria.

In March, 2017, Ian died suddenly and unexpectedly. His vision, energy, creativity and passion in establishing Gembrook Hill Vineyard inspire June and Andrew to uphold and continue his legacy.

With views of Mt Donna Buang, a backdrop of the Warburton ranges, red soil and a coveted north-easterly aspect, it is the perfect spot for cool climate winemaking.

Gembrook Hill led the way as part of the 'second wave' of Yarra Valley vignerons, and today is one of the oldest vineyards in the Upper Yarra sub-region.

Gembrook's wines are regarded as some of the most outstanding examples of their variety in Australia and are crafted with an old-world winemaking mindset.
