Sally's Paddock

Victoria  

The original Sally's Paddock vineyard is a four-acre site that continues to deliver a wine of wonderful complexity and depth since 1973. The Sally's Paddock winery is located 2 hours northwest of Melbourne near the town of Redbank in Victoria - in the heart of the Australian Pyrenees ranges.

Sallys Paddock is owned by Neill & Sally Robb, who are helped by their three children in all aspects of the family business.

The Pyrenees region experiences a relatively cool to mild continental climate with significant variation between day and night temperatures due to its altitude of 1,300 to 1,500 feet. This climate offers ideal ripening conditions, including a long growing season, that give grapes the luxury of time on the vine - maximizing their development of flavor and complexity. The region has a Heat Degree Days Index of 1530 and lies 37 South.

Sally's Paddock is handcrafted from a single non-irrigated site. It is universally regarded as one of Australia's classic red wines. The unique combination of soil type, cool-mild climatic characteristics, un-irrigated vineyards and 'everything-by-hand' processes produce low yield grapes of high intensity, color and flavor. Neill is a master blender and Sally's Paddock reflects his unique talent.

Sally's Paddock received two Gold Medals in the London International Wine Challenge and has been included in the 'Excellent A' section of the Langton's Auction House Classification of Distinguished Australian Wine for the past 14 years.
