The King Valley is in the North East of Victoria and is one of Australia's largest premium winegrowing areas. From the wide open plains to the north to the foothills of the alps at the southern end of the valley, the diversity of grape growing conditions provides a range of products, which covers the full spectrum of styles, from sparkling to fortified wines.
Our Koombahla vineyard sits in the hills above Whitfield in the upper King Valley at elevations between 250 and 350m above sea level. Nestled under the Victorian Alps we get snow on the surrounding hills each year. During the summer, the katabatic breezes come down from the mountains keep the nights cool and encourage the vines to produce fruit with intense flavours and colour.
The vineyard is named after the magnificent brittle gum that sits at the top of the property gazing down on the vineyard. This tree is listed as a tree of significance with the National Trust.
