WINERIES WE REPRESENT

Astrolabe Wines was established in 1996 by a group of friends, and since then has experienced phenomenal growth and a cult following. It is through nurturing the attributes of the soil and vine whilst harnessing the micro-climates and topography and combining these with his minimalist approach in the winery, that Simon Waghorn transforms the region's grapes into stylish and expressive wines.

Isabel Estate aims to produce true "estate" wines - wines produced only from vineyards under its' total viticultural control. Isabel Estate endeavours to produce "inspired wines that are a strong expression of the individual style and character, as determined by the vineyard soil and site"
