$545.00

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

This wine is our new “Introductory Wine” due to the such small supply of fruit we have from the Eastern Peake site. This is a section of barrels from the 4 different blocks of pinot noir (Eastern Peake, Walsh Block, Two Mile Hill & Griffins Road). These vineyards are all walking distance from each other all connected via the Coghills Creek catchment & in view of the Eastern Peake of Mount Bolton.

2022 provided some excellent Pinot Noir fruit for us, it was challenge to farm early on in the season. Fermented naturally in 3000L wax lined open concrete vats, each block was basket pressed separately, 12 months élevage separately in 228L barriques (20% new), selected barrels from all the blocks were assembled, no fining or filtering, bottled 6 months after racking from barrel. A small amount of sulphur post malo & pre bottling.

About Eastern Peake Wines

Eastern Peake is a leader in boutique wines, selling exclusively to restaurants and niche retailers nationally. With the brand new function/tasting room at the Vineyard, we welcome you to experience Eastern Peake wines in absolute surreal surroundings.

Eastern Peake Vineyards are set on a small plateau at Coghills Creek in the Ballarat Highlands some 25 km from Ballarat. A dramatic backdrop of a rugged granite outcrop of Mt Bolton, namely ‘Eastern Peake’ is to the west of the vineyard, creating the stunning view seen from the property. The east the vineyard overlooks the Mammaloid Hills of the Creswick Plains, named by Major Mitchell during his epic trail.

The Eastern Peake Vineyard was established in 1983, the first plantings being 8 acres of Pinot Noir followed by 4 acres of Chardonnay in 1991. In 1994 the decision was made to establish a winery and cellar door facility at Coghill’s Creek. The winery was completed in time for the 1995 vintage.
