History
Yeowarra Hill began as a family owned vineyard, which was established in 1998 amongst 80 acres of rural grazing land with plantings of Chardonnay (1.5 acres) and Pinot Noir (2.5 acres). The first commercial, handpicked crop for the Yeowarra Hill label was picked in 2006. Wine tastings and cellar door sales are now available.
Estate Vineyards / AVA
From vines planted in 1988, Yeowarra Hill began handpicking its first commercial crop in 2006 after meticulous pruning led to excellent fruit in low yields.
At Yeowarra Hill Winery Colac our aim is not to produce wines in great quantities, instead we aim to nurture our vines to produce quality fruit in small quantities so we can make wine that reflects the elegant complexities and varietal characteristics of the cool climate of the region.
Our Colac vineyard has plantings of Chardonnay (1.5acres) and Pinot Noir (2.5acres). The care and attention to the vineyard of our winemaker produced immediate results with our first vintage (2006) Chardonnay, being awarded a medal at the 2007 Geelong Wine Show. Yeowarra Hill Pinot Noir has also seen success at more recent Wine shows.
