Set in the Darling Range east of Perth, Lion Mill Vineyards comprises two adjacent properties planted with vines on land selected in the 1870s. Initially part of an important timber milling area, the region later became a centre of fruit growing and small farming.
Lion Mill Vineyards are located on the northern side of a gently sloping valley on Charlotte Brook, an upper tributary of Jane Brook. The soils are those typical of the the Perth Hills Geographical Indication: loam, gravelly loam and lateritic gravels. The elevation - about 300 metres, the cold winters and the warm dry summers provide conditions that are well suited to the production of quality fruit displaying regional characteristics.
From vines first planted in the 1980s at Carosa and 1999 at Lion Mill, the owners draw on the production of about 2.5 hectares of vineyard.
Lion Mill has a cellar door overlooking the vineyard where you can taste their still and sparkling red and white wines, as well as dessert style and fortified wines. It's a lovely intimate experience with friendly, informative staff.
All grapes are grown on the property and wines are made by Myattsfield Winery in Carmel.
You're invited to stay for a while in the hills in one of the many comfortable bed and breakfast facilities in the area.
