"What a delicious red wine this is."  Campbell Mattinson

Established in 1998, a small estate with an original vision as a Thoroughbred facility. In time, a small vineyard was added, farmed organically, with a view to crafting savoury, complex, “bistro style” wines. Pioneers of styles so common now, like their cult-following pale rosé, they are quality driven and highly acclaimed. The vineyard and winery operations are led by Melanie Chester, a star in the making. She joined Sutton Grange by way of Seppelt, so has a very strong hand for central Victorian wines, and has quickly made a mark in the industry through the Young Gun of Wine Awards.

"What a delicious red wine this is. Lifted, fruity, juicy and ready. Cherry-plum into woodsy spice, mint into meat and woodsmoke. Soft in general but firm-enough through the finish. Florals and lots of them. No hesitation."  Campbell Mattinson, Winefront.

"The scent of blackberry is given an extra dimension by hints of star anise and black pepper. The fruit weight is impressive, as are the freshness and fine, firm tannins. Although enjoyable now, this shiraz will evolve positively for several years."  5 Stars & Outstanding Winewise
