The vineyard is perched atop the scenic ridges above Gloucester, just like a European vineyard but nicer!
Visitors are welcome to enjoy intimate wine tastings and share plates made up of local produce. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon in their beautiful garden and soak up the magnificent view as you enjoy a fine wine experience.
Our wines:
We grow three varieties of grapes at Faulls Ridge Winery: Verdelho (white), Chambourcin (red) and Shiraz (red). Pruned in winter the grapes ripen over summer and are picked in January and February every year by friends, family and anyone interested (I have interested tourists wanting to help!) Everyone who picks gets a very hearty breakfast and a free bottle of wine. Depending on the season, with these three varieties we usually make a Verdelho, Chambourcin, Shiraz and a Rose.Our 2022 vintage:
2022 Verdelho: This wine has tropical notes of stone fruit and citrus including lemon and grapefruit with a hint of spicy characters. The wine is medium bodied with a crisp acidity.
2022 Rose: This wine is a rose gold colour and to say it's beautiful is an understatement! It has strawberry notes with a touch of confectionary cherry and is a light bodied wine with a crisp finish. This 2022 Rose is a perfect summer drink.
2022 Chambourcin: This wine is a brick red colour. The red cherry aroma has earthy notes with a touch of spice and a nice integration of French oak. The palate is medium bodied with soft tannin and savoury characters with cherry and rhubarb flavours.
