The name Caledonia Australis was given to the lush corner of far South Eastern Victoria by home sick Scots captivated by its beauty. It was later officially named Gippsland in honour of the Governor of the day. Caledonia Australis (Scotland of the South) is committed to sustainably producing small quantities of hand made Pinot Noir and Chardonnay barrel by barrel. The mature vineyards are close planted on rich deep ferrosols and are amongst the coldest and wettest sites on mainland Australia. The winemaking aims to protect the richness and complexity that comes from this challenging viticulture.
The chardonnay blocks are organically managed and are certified 'organic in conversion' with full certification due soon.
