Ross Hill is a family-owned winery in Orange, New South Wales, founded in 1994 by Peter and Terri Robson, now led by the next generation including James and Chrissy. Their vineyards stretch across multiple sites, most notably Griffin Road (750-850 metres elevation) and Wallace Lane (one of Australia’s highest planted cool-climate vineyards, over 1,000 metres), with soils that include basalt and volcanic origins, giving wines crisp structure and elevated freshness. Ross Hill was the first Australian winery certified carbon neutral under Climate Active, and sustainability sits at the heart of their farming and winemaking. They specialise in cool-climate varietals and styles—Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz—producing wines of precision, vibrant character and elegant refinement.
Tasting Notes
Purple, fading to crimson edges. This wine leaps from the glass. Red fruits fill the room before even a swirl. The winery must smell amazing when this fruit arrives. Closer inspection releases spicier aromatics ‚– intense fruit and classy oak in harmony. Rhubarb and cinnamon. Perfectly ripe, yet agile ‚– arguably Australia's best Cabernet Franc combines power with cool-climate precision. - Winery Note
