Our Vineyard

We are located in the Upper Yarra Valley, a region recognised for its high quality cool climate grapes and wines. Planted in 1994, our vines have been through their vigorous and erratic teenage years and are now nicely ‘balanced’, showing their stable character traits. At vintage, we retain a small parcel of fruit, chosen for its quality and flavour, to produce our own label. The remaining majority of our grapes are then sold to well known Yarra Valley producers, so you may well have enjoyed a drop of our wines already without even being aware.

The site of our Yarra Valley Vineyard was chosen specifically for its combination of climate, aspect and soil – essential for producing high quality fruit.  The spectacular views afforded across the valley floor to imposing Mount Donna Buang are in turn, essential for the other side of our business – hosting functions and special events.

Being in a north facing natural amphitheatre, the vineyard is sheltered from the prevailing westerly weather that contributes to the long mild autumns – ideal for the slow, even ripening required to produce grapes of elegant and complex flavour.

Look out for the following Bulong Estate wines next time you’re dining out – Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir,  Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Merlot and Cabernet Franc.  (Top tip – We have some of the oldest Pinot Gris vines in the Yarra Valley; well worth a sip when you get the chance).
