This year we commence planting the remaining acreage at Eastern Peake with mostly Chardonnay (Clones B76 & P58) & a little parcle of Pinot Noir. Cover crops are in ready to be turned back into the earth with compost. an excting journey ahead.

In 2021 a decision was made to produce an “Introductory level” chardonnay from both our own & sourced fruit (from vineyards that go under the Latta range). This wine is again made up from 5 vineyards (Eastern Peake, Mount Coghill, Two Mile Hill, Pirrepoint & Moonambel).

All individual sites were whole bunched pressed, fermented naturally in 300L hogs heads & 228L (30% new) barriques, racked after 12 months élevage to tank, always full malo, no fining or filtering, bottled 4 months later from racking. 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.
