The cool climate region of the ACT and surrounding districts of NSW is home to about 140 vineyards and has developed a well deserved reputation for fine wine. The unique environment of the region encompasses a variety of soil types, vineyard elevations and temperatures. Picking time is generally cool, and occasionally foggy. Hot dry summers and recurring drought, cold winters and the occasional frosts provide challenges for the regional growers.

The Di Bartolo vineyard, planted on a ridge with an elevation of 714 metres above sea level has plantings of 3 varieties of grape; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Tempranillo.

Chardonnay grown in this cool climate produces an elegant wine with good structure and complexity.

Pinot Noir, though not a major grape variety in Australia, is well suited to the higher altitudes of the Canberra region. It creates a soft medium bodied red.

Tempranillo is a Spanish grape which makes excellent firm dry reds but is as yet not widely known in Australia.

Our small family owned vineyard was established in 1993 and we are committed to providing a range of quality wines at competitive prices.

Gather your friends together and enjoy!
