Our vineyard
Sixth-generation farmer Charles and his wife Sally have carried forward the family’s innovative spirit, moving beyond traditional sheep farming to focus on a new passion: premium wine grapes. Nestled on the sun-drenched slopes above the Derwent River, our vineyard benefits from cool winters, dry summers, abundant water, and nutrient-rich volcanic soils - the perfect combination for grapes with distinctive character.
Since 2017, we’ve been growing and supplying top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Pinot Gris to winemakers, helping them craft exceptional wines. The success of these plantings inspired us, and in 2023 we expanded with another 15 hectares of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay - and this year, for the first time, we are launching our own Glenelg label.
At Glenelg we blend heritage with innovation and share the story of this land through both our grapes and our own wines.
Glenelg continues to be a family business employing a small but dedicated team with strong focus on long term sustainability.
For generations we have been actively protecting the natural environment through conservation of native bush, control of introduced weeds, and excluding livestock from riverside areas.
