Kyneton Ridge are the first Certified Sustainable Vineyard in Macedon Ranges. Owners Angela and Andrew Wood have embraced regenerative viticulture, and through 2024 underwent a rigorous audit process of sustainability across the environmental, social, and economic aspects of their business. Winemakers are Andrew’s son Patrick and his partner Greta (from the 2022 vintage). Full credit for the brown glass packaging. Winemaking sees fermentation in barrel before 6 months maturation in French oak.

Not a huge amount of Vermentino grown in Victoria. Winemaking sees stainless steel fermentation before 3 months maturation in French oak.
