Idyllic Hills Wines

Our Wines

We grow the following varieties at our vineyard in Murrumbateman : Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Viognier. We also produce a unique, full-bodied Rosé from our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and blends as the season suit. Only the highest quality fruit is vinified each year and quantities of this fruit are also available for purchase.

​

All our wines are in the French style. They are full-bodied, fruit-driven and made to accompany your favourite food choices.

​

Our terroir is perfectly suited to these varieties. At an altitude of 620m above sea-level, our lovingly hand-tended vineyard enjoys the perfect combination of d'uro granite; cold, wet winters and sunny summer slopes.

​

There is an entire year's loving care and attention in every bottle.

SOLD OUT UNTIL 2022

​

An extraordinary, beautiful wine, our Viognier exhibits a fruity, rich palate, with overtones of dried apricots. Served chilled, this is a perfect match with a cheese platter, spicy Asian food, roast chicken, pork and seafood.

​

SOLD OUT UNTIL 2021

​

Our popular Rosé, made from the finest of our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, is a vibrant, refreshing, medium- bodied dry wine that we recommend you serve chilled. It partners well with soft cheeses, light white meats, pizza and tomato-based pasta dishes.

​

2018 Shiraz

For your enjoyment, our 2018 Reserve Shiraz was ripened slowly and then aged in French oak barriques. This flagship varietal is intensely-flavoured, exhibiting esters of spice and black pepper. This is your go-to with red meats and will cellar well.

2018 Cabernet Sauvignon

​

Lucky you! Our bold 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon - the same variety from which we make our Rose' - has now been released for your pleasure. It is drinking superbly now, with a gorgeous raspberry character and will cellar well, ideally matched with slow-cooked lamb shanks, roast beef, a cheese platter ...

​

2018 Merlot

Favourable ripening conditions produced an aromatic, plummy, medium-bodied wine that will cellar well. The soft tannins of our 2018 Merlot enable the wine to be matched best with grilled red meats and firm cheeses, or another bottle of our Merlot.

​

Special Limited Edition Anniversary Gold, bottled to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary in 2019. A Shiraz Viognier blend, it marries the more robust spice & black pepper Shiraz palate with Viognier's soft aromatic lift and silky finish. The perfect way to celebrate, reward or thank a loved one. Pair with pork, lamb, beef, chocolate, love.
