Mount Eyre Vineyards combines a European
family tradition of winemaking, a generation of experience in Australian
viticulture, as well as one of the most dynamic winemakers in the world.
From our roots in the tiny towns of Alestena, in the Peleponese,
Greece, and Vallo della Lucania, Italy, the Tsironis and Iannuzzi
families have an
unbroken involvement in wine extending back centuries, tilling
their vines and offering wine to friends and visitors alike.
Mount Eyre Vineyards has been energetic and innovative, typifying
the vigour and vision of the modern Australian wine industry,
to produce distinctive
high quality regional wines for the pleasure of the world’s
wine drinkers. As well as domestic sales, Mount Eyre Vineyards
enjoys a
steadily expanding
export market.
At Mount Eyre Vineyards we have great respect for terroir.
We have combined the different types of soils, aspects and
altitude of
our exceptional
vineyards to produce distinctive regional wines.
Our
Australian vineyard story starts in Broke, in the Hunter Valley, where
the Three Ponds vineyard lies on the sandy
loam river flats of Monkey
Place Creek. Planted in 1970 by Neil Grosser, it is still
carefully managed by Neil and his sons Greg and David today.
In Broke,
Mount Eyre Vineyards
have over 50 acres of Semillon, Chardonnay, Cabernet and
Shiraz, providing the heart of our wine offerings.
To any astute judge of vineyards, Mount Eyre Vineyards’
second property, the Holman Estate, Pokolbin, represents
a most exceptional site. In the heart
of the Hunter Valley, its deep red loams have proven
their worth and been shown by history to be the backbone of many
great Hunter Valley
red wines.
Here 16 acres are planted. It is also the site of Mount
Eyre
Vineyards guesthouse and olive grove, where we produce
a small quantity of premium olive oil.
Mount Eyre Vineyards are honoured to have recruited
one of New Zealand's, and in fact the worlds, most
talented winemakers,
C.P. Lin.
A blind winemaker,
Lin gained his reputation as one of the best makers
of pinot
noir and chardonnay at Mountford Estate, outside
Christchurch in New Zealand’s South Island.
Mount Eyre Vineyards currently offers two ranges
of wines. The Mount Eyre range displays abundant
fruit-driven flavours
that have
made Australian
wines popular all around the world. Included in
this range is our innovative sparkling wine, Neptune.
The Three
Ponds
reserve range
is for the astute
wine drinker, who appreciates the subtleties of
flavours and ageing fine wines. In the near future, C.P. Lin
will launch our super-premium range,
made in limited quantities for only the most special of occasions! |
