Gisborne Peak Winery
Gisborne Peak Winery
The beautiful Gisborne Peak Winery overlooks rolling green hills and sits amid the calming atmosphere of the Victorian countryside. Nestled in the heart of the Macedon Ranges, Gisborne Peak Winery specialises in a wide range of wines, including pinot noir, Chardonnay, riesling and semillon.
In May 2023, the winery gained new owners of this 30-acre site. The vines, first planted in 1990, were lovingly managed by Bob and Barbara Nixon. The new caretakers are dedicated to continuing their legacy, embracing their love and passion for the vineyard.
Gisborne Peak Winery now offers an educational and interactive wine tasting experience through seated wine flights. Guests can enjoy four 40 millilitre pours of their choice. In addition, it offers wood-fired pizzas, cellar door snacks and tasting platters. The winery features a multitude of activities and amenities for visitors to enjoy.
Located only fifty kilometres from Melbourne, the picturesque and peaceful Gisborne Peak Winery features the most stunningly quaint on-site accommodation. Perfect for a romantic getaway, or as an escape from the city, the four eco-cottages overlook the winery’s vines and provide guests with a calming and charming atmosphere. Guests can settle into the self-contained cottages and enjoy the sweeping views of the countryside.
The Cellar door is open Thursday to Sunday for everyone to enjoy and indulge in all of the winery’s delicious wines. Its cool climate creates the perfect conditions to create a rich and fruitful pinot noir.
Relax and unwind amongst the serenity of the Macedon Ranges, where luxury and relaxation meet fine wine. Take in the country atmosphere and visit Gisborne Peak Winery today where visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the area’s rich greenery and delicious food and drink
Tasting Notes
⇐ 2019 Riesling
This appetising white wine offers hints of lemon on the nose and a beautiful flavour and roundness on the palate. This is typical of a cool-climate riesling which also features excellent acidity, making this wine a keeper. Indulge yourself in this outstanding white wine that won five stars as the James Halliday wine companion.
⇐ 2018 Sparkling Pinot Noir
Made traditionally, this sparkling red is an utter delight. When this pinot noir hits the palate, you can be sure you will be met with a fruity and bubbly flavour. This wine was originally made as a full-bodied pinot noir before maturing on lees in the bottle.
⇐ 2021 Chardonnay
After fermentation this wine was exposed to oak for a short period of time to give it a beautiful balance and roundness. Displaying hints of apricot, passionfruit and peaches, this delightful chardonnay is clean and crisp on the palate. With a gentle balance of acid and giving length of flavour, this white wine is sure to enlighten your taste buds.
⇐ 2021 Pinot ‘Rose’
This pinot is an outstanding example of cool-climate grape growing. As the winery specialises in this type of wine, you can be guaranteed that this vintage has aged well. It has a superb balance and depth and displays beautiful pepper and plums on the palate. Enjoy it now or put it away for up to five years.
