Longview Creek Vineyard

Bill and Karen Ashby moved from CBD living to the Longview Creek Vineyard in 2003 and following on from the previous owners are continuing to concentrate on growing high quality fruit nurtured by labour intensive viticultural practices which enable them to produce a range of handcrafted single estate wines which reflect the inherent characteristics of the site. They have been assisted in their endeavours by winemaker, Roland Kaval and viticulturist, Simon Glover, who are both notable wine and grape producers in the Daylesford-Macedon region.

The wines are wholly estate grown and bottled and are well priced boutique offerings with regular drinking in mind, not just for special occasions.  Our 2004 vintage is now sold out and our 2005 offering includes:

Pippin Pinot  - a good value everyday Pinot
Pinot Noir - fully matured in one and two year old French oak
Cabernet Franc  - intense colour and flavours, limited cellar door release
Chardonnay  - 11 months in Hungarian oak - our point of difference
Chardonnay Unwooded  - from a terrific vintage, big and delicious
Chenin Blanc - fresh, crisp and fruity, a varietal not seen much in Victoria
Riesling - austere and clear in style, one to drink now or cellar 
Pippin White - blend of chardonnay/chenin, easy, everyday drinking, not too dry.

A warm welcome will be extended to you at the cellar door with an invitation to enjoy a pleasant sojourn in a relaxed vineyard/garden setting which is complemented by lovely views of the Gorge through which the Longview Creek runs and beyond to the Macedon Ranges.

Complimentary wine tastings and tastings from a platter comprising local produce.  Cake and coffee always available. Individual luncheon platters to enjoy with a glass of wine can be ordered in advance. Picnic/barbecue facilities.
