Lone Star Creek Vineyard

Victoria | Yarra Valley

Our Review

The Lone Star Creek Vineyard was established in '97 by Robin Wood and Gillian Bowers, who are primarily contract growers; '17 was the first vintage under their own label. Pinot noir (52%), pinot gris (23%), chardonnay (15%), sauvignon blanc (5%) and syrah (5%) are planted. Situated on the border of Woori Yallock and Hoddles Creek, the cool-climate Upper Yarra fruit was sold to wineries including Hoddles Creek Estate, so when the time came to start producing wine under the Lone Star Creek Vineyard label, enlisting Hoddles Creek's own Franco D’Anna as winemaker was an obvious choice. The vineyard is not subject to strictly organic management, but the philosophy with both the viticulture and winemaking is one of minimal intervention. -JAMES HALLIDAY
