Winemaker, Bruno Tassone recalls his
childhood introduction to
wine production in Italy.
....................................................................
Bacchus, the Roman god of Wine, discovered the
culture of the vine and the method of extracting its precious nectar
for our gratification, and we are grateful for the opportunity to
continue that tradition with skill and passion.
Our vineyard, located in the cool climate wine
making region of Sunbury, Victoria is set high on the hills overlooking
the picturesque Bacchus Marsh valley. Our vines are sun drenched
during the day and benefit from cool breezes at night - ideal growing
conditions for producing elegant cool climate wines with crisp, tangy
acidity characteristics that are full of complexity and intensity.
Our grapes are handpicked from
hand-pruned vines, grown on high level river terraces and gully
alluvium within a belt of ancient Ordovician soil - they make wines
of great character and complexity.
