Waratah Hills is a small, family run vineyard, situated at the gateway to Victoria’s famed Wilson’s Promontory, the southernmost tip of the Australian mainland. Vines, first established in the mid 90’s, are tightly planted, trellising style, reminiscent of Burgundy. The vineyard focuses on chardonnay and pinot noir. South Gippsland’s cool, maritime climate, is widely acknowledged as one of the best pinot noir producing areas in Australia.

Located just out of Inverloch at Wattle Bank which is in the pictureque region of the bass coast, Victoria. It should be no surprise that our location is a heavily maritime influenced cool climate zone where the vineyard is cooled in summer by gentle sea breezes allowing for a slow and consistent ripening of the fruit.
