Description
Carillion Wines is a boutique winery specialising in small batch wines, and insists on high quality fruit only.
Tim Davis is at the helm as Vigneron and owner. Working closely with winemaker Andrew Ling as Winemaker and the vineyard team, Tim and Andrew concentrate on producing small batch wines from low-crop premium fruit. They pride themselves on taking adventurous leaps into alternative varieties and experimental winemaking techniques whilst at the same time being respectful of the heritage and the vignerons of years’ past.
They believe that all great wine begins in the vineyard, and have carefully selected distinct vineyard sites for their soil, climate and fruit growing capacity. The vineyards are Tallavera Grove in the Hunter Valley, cool-climate Carillion in Orange and Stonefields in Wrattonbully. Each vineyard specialises in different varieties of grapes enabling them to produce a wide range of wines with the best fruit available for each varietal.
The Hunter Valley Cellar Door is located at our Tallavera Grove Vineyard in scenic Mount View, enjoying views widely recognised as the best in the Hunter region. The celebrated French restaurant Bistro Molines provides Provence-style food, and visitors can enjoy an overnight or weekend stay at gorgeous Little Orchard Cottage.
