Rowanston on the Track Winery
Rowanston on the Track winery is located on the northern foothills of the Macedon Ranges on the Burke and Wills track between Lancefield and Heathcote - an easy drive from Melbourne via the Melbourne International Airport. We have been consistently awarded 4-5 star ratings by James Halliday. Explorers Burke and Wills travelled past the property en route to Swan Hill on the first leg of their ill fated journey in August 1861.
Our family, boutique vineyard, produces Shiraz, Riesling, Merlot and sparkling white made from 100per cent pinot. Special feature of this vineyard include original stone fences, fantastic views of the McCarg Ranges and an old garden.
Our Riesling has won several awards at wine shows including rating over the past years between 93 and 95 by James Halliday. Our shiraz has won awards at various shows and will soon be exported to boutique market in the US. The sparkling blanc de noir is made from 100per cent pinot and has been one of our most popular wines over recent years.
First plantings occurred in 1995. The heavy red soils (terra rossa) hold moisture and the volcanic outcrops develop white peppery characteristic in the red wines, whilst the cool nights and slow ripening period produce rich full fruit flavours. The key to our wines begins in the vineyard with hand pruning, minimal to zero use of chemicals and meticulous selection of ripe rich berries for winemaking.
All wines are handpicked and made using traditional techniques which include gentle crushing, open vat fermentation, and basket pressing, followed by maturation in oak barrels.
You will find our wines available at many local outlets around the Daylesford Macedon Ranges wine region. We are also proud sponsors of the Redstich Actors Theatre in Chapel Street, St Kilda, and Melbourne, where our wines are available at performances.
