VINEYARDS

The Coombe Farm estate is approximately 220 hectares in area and located at the gateway to the Yarra Valley in Coldstream, commencing at the fork of the Melba and Maroondah Highways at Coombe Cottage, extending down to St Huberts Road.

In 1998, 60 hectares of vines were established on both sides of the Maroondah Highway, with the vision ‘to be the best and most preferred supplier of premium Yarra Valley wine-grapes and widely recognised as an industry leader in Best Practice viticulture, varietal selection and innovation.’

Varieties planted included the traditional Yarra Valley varieties and clones of Chardonnay (Mendoza or ‘Gin-Gin’, P58, 76, 96 and 277), Pinot Noir (MV6, 777, 114 and 115), Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as the more unusual Pinot Gris, Arneis, Viognier and Marsanne.

Coombe Farm now consistently supplies premium and ultra-premium wine grapes to many of Australia’s leading and most innovative wine producers, selecting the best for our own boutique wine range.

We have been proudly supplying Brown Brothers with Chardonnay for their Patricia Chardonnay since 2006 and in 2010 we were very honoured to be named their Grower of the Year.

The vineyards of Coombe Farm have been under the management and supervision of Viticulturalist & Vineyard Manager Xavier Mende since their inception.
