Nestled on the granite-strewn northern slopes of the Macedon Ranges, Granite Hills Vineyard is a timeless beauty of cool-climate winemaking. With over half a century of crafting classic wines, our estate promises a to truly express the essence of our region.
In 1970, the first vines were planted, and the legacy began. In 1979, after four years of studying Wine Science at Wagga and a year working in the wine industry, Gordon and Heather's son Llew returned home to work in the family business.
Today, under the guidance of Llew and Andrea Knight, and the support of a small, dedicated team, Granite Hills has entered a new era of winemaking excellence, carrying forward the family tradition and ensuring the legacy continues.
Our winemaking philosophy centres on coaxing the most pronounced flavours from classic grape varieties, resulting in cool-climate wine styles celebrated for their complexity and remarkable aging potential. At Granite Hills, the vineyard tells a story of evolution, resilience, and the artistry of crafting distinctive wines.
The vineyard is a testament to time and nature's beauty. In 1970, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Riesling were planted as a trial, eventually expanding to six hectares. Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer arrived in 1973, a challenging year that brought the need for a more sustainable approach. With the 1976 vintage, Granite Hills introduced its first commercial releases, marking a turning point in the winemaking journey.
Expansions continued over the years, with Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Shiraz gracing the landscape. Since 2011, we've welcomed exciting new varieties like Pinot Blanc, Gamay Noir, Gruner Veltliner, and a touch of Malbec.
