Our Review
This Yarra Valley property was purchased by Helmut Konecsny in ’02; he had already established a reputation for pinot noir and chardonnay from the family-owned Romsey Park vineyard in the Macedon Ranges. Helmut sold his Macedon Ranges site in ’10 to focus on his Yarra Valley winery and vineyards, soon buying an established 13ha vineyard on Briary Road in Gruyere, which was renamed Isabella’s vineyard. In ’16 Helmut took on No.9 vineyard, which is across the road from Isabella’s vineyard. -JAMES HALLIDAY
