Our Review
Established in ’93 by Justin and Julie Ardill. Justin hand made the first vintage in ’94 on the verandah of the heritage-listed Reillys Cottage – built in 1856 by Irish shoemaker Hugh Reilly – which today serves as their cellar door and restaurant. Justin continues to use the same traditional winemaking techniques of prolonged open fermentation, hand plunging and barrel maturation. The wines are made from estate vineyards (the oldest planted in 1919). -JAMES HALLIDAY
