| Hotel Description |
Rupert’s Ridge was established in 2003 on 100 acres of rolling hills at Redesdale, about 100 km north of Melbourne in the Heathcote wine growing region, famous for its Shiraz.
The property was named after our Great Dane Mastiff, Rupert, who thought he had died and gone to heaven having 100 acres to roam and the planting of a vineyard to supervise.
Shiraz, Viognier and Vermentino (an Italian white which is so easy to drink sitting in the sun on one of those wonderful lazy into the evening luncheons) were planted.
11,500 vines were planted individually and with care. A great deal of time was taken to ensure that the vines were in the right position with regard to sun, wind, frost and views. One thing we learned is that you can’t make fine wine from inferior grapes and great fruit comes from happy and healthy vines.
The plan was to sell most of the grapes each year and make small vintages for the first four years until we had established top quality vines, fruit and wine quality. Alan Cooper from Cobaw Ridge agreed to be our wine maker. |
