Vineyard & Winemaking

The Drysdale Vineyard sits on the Bellarine Peninsula, overlooking Port Phillip Bay. Its combination of limestone soils, cooling coastal breezes, and long growing season yields fruit of purity and natural tension.

Hand-picked fruit, wild fermentation, and gentle extraction preserve the vineyard’s signature perfume and texture. Maturation in fine French oak adds subtle spice and polish without masking site character.
