The key to vintage 2021 wines commenced with the quality of the fruit. The dry vintage correlates in virtually nil disease pressure, while the bright and warm days provided fruit of even ripeness across individual vineyard blocks. Primarily machine-picked, this ‘Estate grown’ blend of Shiraz was primarily fermented in 4 tonne, open-top stainless-steel fermenters.

As colour and flavour were in abundance, the wine remained on skins for 7 days before being pressed close to dryness and sent to French barriques and hogshead for maturation.

Gundagai may be the best kept wine secret in NSW. Located 160 kilometres southwest of Canberra, along the foothills of the picturesque Snowy Mountains. A region rich in red volcanic soils and winemaking history dates back to 1877.

Most of the vineyards today, including Tumblong Hills were planted in the 1990s.

The Snowy Mountains not only provide a beautiful vista, they also encourage cool evening breezes throughout the growing season. This helps preserve delicate and complex fruit characters. Additionally, the vibrant ironstone-rich soil is particularly ideal for producing powerful, yet elegant, medium-bodied dry reds.

About Tumblong Hills, Gundagai – NSW

At Tumblong Hills, we like to think of ourselves as a community within a community. A tapestry of experienced vineyard operators who have honed their craft in some of Southern NSW’s most substantial and progressive wine regions, now working towards a shared idea of creating wine.

The wines we make at Tumblong Hills come with a purpose towards continuous improvement in respect of the fundamentals of nature and future generations.

Simon Robertson has this land in his blood. A second-generation vigneron, Simon is a devoted advocate of sustainable farming with a background in Biodynamics, who truly acknowledges the role soil plays in good winemaking practices. Simon leads the team at Tumblong Hills with a belief that great wines are made in the vineyard and healthy living soils are the backbone to creating those wines. Living Soil : Great Wines!

We’re not here by accident. In conjunction with the katabatic cooling winds from the Snowy Mountains, our carefully planted vineyard sites ensure the wines of Tumblong Hills retain distinctive varietal characters, forged from the vineyard’s rich living volcanic soils, and nearness to nourishing, mountain-derived water.

We pride ourselves on our portfolio, which stays true to the multicultural heritage of our home and the European style of our wines, while challenging the status quo with lesser-known, climate friendly varietals to enjoy with your friends and family on any occasion.
