Cobaw Ridge

"This is one of those out-of-the-way gems that make Victorian vineyard touring so fascinating. Cobaw Ridge is a clearing in an unspoilt forest strewn with giant boulders. There’s a real "middle of nowhere" feel, yet it’s not much more than an hour from Melbourne.

Comforts include picnic area, casual terrace tables, and a rustic mudbrick winery which produces distinctive cool-climate wines.

Shiraz, straight or in a blend with Viognier, and Chardonnay are typically fresh and lively, and the unique Lagrein is a savoury, Italian-varietal red of real interest." Ralph Kyte-Powell
