Attwoods Wines
Attwoods Wines
Attwoods Wines is a beautiful micro boutique winery, producing on average 40,000 bottles a year. Specialising in cool climate pinot noir and chardonnay, the winery makes up to five and six varietals a year. The cool climate of Victoria sees warm growing days but cool nights which is ideal for a long ripening season with harvest in mid-Autumn.
Established in 2010 by winemaker Troy Walsh whose passion for wine led him to working in Burgundy, France following his love of pinot noir, the winery partnered with the Livingston Family in 2018. John brought considerable skills to the already growing business, and his passion for food with Troy’s passion for wine was the perfect fit.
Troy and the winery’s passion is to create food focussed and minimal intervention wines. Attwoods Wines is dedicated to making true cool climate Victorian wines, focusing on the central highlands of Ballarat and Macedon Ranges.
