Wallington, the home of famous Wallington wines was established
in 1992 with the planting of Cabernet Sauvignon, followed
by Chardonnay, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc,
Semillon, Grenache, Mourvedre, Tempranillo, Petit Verdot and
Viognier , a total of 18ha.The vines are grown with minimal
irrigation to ensure small intensely flavoured berries.Only 20
tonnes of grapes are hand picked for the Wallington label.
Winemaking style is very traditional and labour intensive and
takes place in the impressive STRAW BALE winery . Grapes are
crushed then fermented in open vats and basket pressed to age in a
variety of French and American oak barrels. We love blending to
create interesting Wallington wines, typical of the styles of
France and Spain. Come and experience a working winery. (click
