Mount Tumbarumba Vineyard

Classy cold climate wines from the foothills of the Snowy Mountains

A basic philosophy

Great wines are made in the vineyard. Growing great wines involves skill, experience, passion and a oneness with the environment. Truly great wines reflect and express the environment in which they were grown. This is the essence of the term terroir.

A well selected site

Our vineyard is on a north-west facing slope with rows running downhill in a north-south orientation. This ensures good sunlight interception and means that the canopy on both the eastern and western sides gets good exposure to sunlight.
