VINEYARDS
LIGHTFALL VINEYARD
Lightfall Vineyard is planted on the slopes surrounding our winery in Healesville. This west facing site is home to 10 hectares of vines, of which, a single block of Chardonnay planted in 1984 stands out. Our first vintage at Lightfall came from the 2024 season and will be released in 2026.
These soils offer an ideal balance of water retention and drainage, ensuring steady vine growth while preserving the delicate acidity and structure essential for high quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The interplay between fine clay particles and organic matter enhances the soil’s ability to hold and release nutrients, promoting balanced vine growth.
