With the ambition to produce full flavoured red wines, Greg and Helen Miles began their search for a vineyard site. In 1997 they established a 4 hectare vineyard at Metcalfe, in the Heathcote wine region, south of Redesdale.
Ellis Wines sits on this famous soil which extends both sides of the Mt Camel range found within the Heathcote wine growing region. In the words of international viticulturalist Larry Bradley… “This site is suitable for growing premium wine grapes”
Sandra Aitken and her team at Barfold Estate make hand crafted, estate-grown, minimal intervention wines on their rustic estate located midway between Heathcote and Kyneton.
