The Shelmerdine Family, who first launched their wine label in September 2002, are committed to producing a limited range of premium wines with the simple philosophy of crafting wines that reflect and express the climate, landscape and character of their vineyards.

The fruit for these wines is sourced exclusively from the family's vineyards in the region. The 16 hectare Merindoc Vineyard, established in 1994 is at Tooborac in the south while the 54 hectare Willoughby Bridge Vineyard, established in 1997, is at Colbinabbin in the north of the region.

The Yarra Valley range of wines comprises Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Noir Rose. The fruit for these wines is sourced exclusively from the 50 hectare Lusatia Park Vineyard located at Woori Yallock in the Upper Yarra Valley, 200m above sea level.
