ABOUT US ...
Bacchus Hill Winery's Cellar Door, opened for business
on the 5th January 2006.
Our magnificent location has picture postcard views
of the Brisbane Ranges, the Macedon Ranges, the tapestry of the local
market gardens and orchards, as well as the Bacchus Marsh Valley.
Our extensive range of wines and moderate prices have
been very well received by all. On some lines, we have all
but sold out. |

The Winemaker's background
|
Our inaugural 2005 vintage consists of: Cabernet
Sauvignon, Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Sangiovese and Pinot
Noir-Merlot for the reds. In the whites, we have Lawsons' Patch Rosé,
Chenin Blanc, Chenin Blanc (Demi-sec) Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay,
Riesling and Semillon. All made by the owner and winemaker Bruno
Tassone. |
Our grapes are handpicked from
hand-pruned vines, grown on high level river terraces and gully
alluvium within a belt of ancient Ordovician soil, making wines
of great character and complexity. This year's vintage has begun
particularly early and the quality and volume of the harvest so
far is extremely encouraging. |
 |
In view of the good harvest, we
hope to have a 2006 Pinot Noir, and a 2006 Merlot to add to our
range. |
This year we have also employed an assistant
winemaker, Melanie Metz, and between the two winemakers, hopes are
high that our exacting standards will not only be maintained but
exceeded, and that consistently superior quality wines will be
produced.
On the 18th March 2006, we participated in the
Victorian Producers Market at the Melbourne Museum, together with
other SDGA wineries. The feedback and interest in our distinctive
label and logo was most encouraging, as was the public's genuine
pleasure in sampling our extensive range of wines.
On the 3rd & 4th May we participated in the
Federation Square, Sunbury & Macedon Ranges Wine Region Show, and
were successful in obtaining a Bronze Medal for our Cabernet Sauvignon
Late Harvest. We were particularly thrilled as this was our very first
entry in a Wine Show.
Our 2005 Shiraz was recently awarded a Silver Medal
at Ballarat Wine Show and a Bronze Medal at the Murrambateman Cool
Climate Wine Show.
Don't forget to keep a look our for our coming
Events information. |

Our Cellar Door is open on weekends, and there is a

We look forward to sharing our unique vineyard,

and years.
