Bannockburn VIC 3331

Clyde Park Vineyard located at Bannockburn, spectacularly overlooks the Moorabool River, 30 kilometres north of Geelong in Southern Victoria,
The property was established in 1979 with small plantings of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Further plantings have increased the holding to thirty-five acres under vine, expanding the existing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, adding the varieties of Shiraz, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. Clyde Park Pinot Noir consists of seven different clones originating from Switzerland, California, France and Australia.
The site consists of undulating north-easterly slopes. The soil varies from silt/clay to sand loam with basalt over a limestone base. Plantings on our north-easterly slopes provide maximum exposure to sunlight, whilst the river flat area offers warmth and wind protection. Viticulturally the site produces premium fruit of low yields.
This, combined with expert cool climate wine making techniques, produces wines of great complexity, exemplifying a perfect balance of acids and fruit.
Clyde Park sits at the forefront of cool climate viticulture.
