Wolseley Wines

Paraparap VIC 3240
Australia
Wolseley Wines is located on the gently sloping hills of Paraparap, just off the Great Ocean Road inland from Bells Beach near Torquay, in Southern Victoria Geelong wine region.
With its cool climate and maritime influences combined with gravely ironstone soils, the Wolseley vineyard produces an excellent pinot noir and other quality wines. Established in 1992, Wolseley Wines has been a result of years of hard work by winemaker Will Wolseley. His basic philosophy is to grow wines in as much harmony as possible with the existing natural environment, coupled with a traditional approach to the making of the wine- interfering as little as possible with the fermentation and maturation process.
The grapes are hand picked and the winemaking processes rely on individualised traditional hands-on methods far removed from those used in typical Australian bulk wine production.
An unusual feature of Wolseley Wines is that the winery runs on solar power, so that the grapes are even pressed by the power of the sun. Presently under construction are several solar cabins that are due for completion during 2008.
