Eldridge Estate produces hand-crafted single vineyard wines. They have 3 hectares (7 acres) under vines, all with superb views of the valley and hills behind the vineyard and winery. The vineyard has an altitude of 225 metres at a Latitude 38 22' 16" and Longitude 145 1' 11" . So in altitude and climate, the site is similar to Burgundy in France.
The soil is a rich terra rosa volcanic loam on a north facing slope that drops 45 metres from the top, near Arthurs Seat Road, to the spring-fed dam at the bottom. It is protected from harsh winds by natural land forms which result in a long, cool, ripening period.
