Acacia Ridge is set in the beautiful Yarra Valley with outstanding views across rolling hills and distant blue mountains - a stunning "Fred Williams" landscape!
The property was planted in 1997. The original plan was to sell fruit to the larger wineries. This is still going on, but because the fruit is of such a high standard, we decided to begin making our own wine. This was done under contract by specialist wine makers, local to the Valley.
The grapes are slow ripening, small bunch clones, ensuring intensity of color and flavour. Irrigation is used to a minimum, to assist us in achieving high quality fruit.
We are now producing an outstanding Chardonnay of silver medal standard, similarly a full flavoured peppery Shiraz and a silky smooth Cabernet Merlot which will surely excite your palate. The Sauv Blanc is also proving to be a big hit based on sales through our Cellar Door.
The restored 1850's Miner's hut officially opened in early 2006 as a unique Cellar Door outlet.
