Blue Pyrenees Estate

About

Blue Pyrenees Estate is a winery located in the Victorian Pyrenees that produces award-winning, estate-grown wines handcrafted naturally in a cool climate. We believe that all wines should show varietal fruit characters and highlight the flavours of the specific site and region in which they're grown. Blue Pyrenees Estate was among the modern Australian wine industry’s first ventures into cool-climate viticulture. The Pyrenees region is only marginally warmer than Coonawarra, which has always been a key reference for cool-climate viticulture, meaning we're in a great position – through both experience and geographical location – to produce top-tier wines. Our estate's beautiful lake, which was formed accidentally during the Gold Rush, provides a supplementary water resource that's particularly valuable during dry vintages; however, our vines receive minimal irrigation and some are dry-grown, keeping with the philosophy of Vincent Gere – our former chief winemaker – who once quipped, 'We are not growing tomatoes.'
