When Hamiltons Bluff released its first wine, an Unwooded Chardonnay named “Canowindra Grossi” after a famous local fish fossil, the vineyard found itself thrust into the limelight as the wine was snapped up for the Qantas First Class International Wine List.

Hamiltons Bluff launched its Methode Champenoise in 1999, a sparkling wine made in the traditional French style. After exploring the wines of Tuscany, James Andrews planted the region’s first Sangiovese vines in 2000, and is now passionately striving to produce a true Australian Sangiovese that retains the bold, earthy characteristics of the traditional Italian variety.
