Conveying the unique characteristics of the Hill Paddock vineyard is essential to our wines and as a result our fruit is 100% estate grown, hand picked, fermented with indigenous yeast and aged in a mix of new and old French oak.

2004 proved to be one of the best growing seasons in the Yarra Valley for decades.

This is reflected in the 2004 Hill Paddock wine’s fresh vitality, structure and lingering concentration. This wine may be enjoyed immediately or further improved with cellaring.
