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.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.

An extraordinary, beautiful wine, our 2019 Viognier exhibits a fruity, rich palate, it has overtones of dried apricots. Served chilled, this is a perfect match with spicy Asian food, roast chicken, pork and seafood.

​

This 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. 2019 vintage is now available.

​

​

Available 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.

Our straight Cabernet has sold out, but now available is our 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot blend. It is a gorgeous combination : 50% is our bold Cabernet Sauvignon - the same variety from which we make our Rose' - and 50% is our lovely soft Merlot. A perfect marriage!!

​

Favourable ripening conditions produced a soft, aromatic, plummy and medium-bodied wine. 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.
