The King Valley, located in Victoria’s High Country, is a vibrant and diverse wine region celebrated for its strong Italian heritage and cool-climate wines. With vineyards stretching from gentle foothills to high-altitude slopes, the region enjoys a wide range of microclimates, ideal for growing both classic and alternative varietals. King Valley is especially renowned for its Italian grapes—such as Prosecco, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, and Pinot Grigio—which flourish in the region’s cool nights and long growing season.
Pioneered by immigrant families, particularly of Italian descent, the area has built a reputation for innovation, quality, and warm hospitality. Beyond its distinctive wines, the King Valley offers stunning alpine scenery, farm-to-table cuisine, and a strong sense of community, making it one of Australia’s most exciting and culturally rich wine destinations.
The Patricia Chardonnay is an elegant wine that balances natural acidity with complexity and ripe stone fruit flavours. Crafted from our best blocks in the Tamar Valley, it showcases delightful notes of white peach and citrus. This wine offers an elegant profile with mineral characters and a long finish. It displays a harmonious balance of acidity, oak, and layers of intrigue. For the summer months the Patricia Chardonnay would be perfect with lightly fried white bait with a lemon mayonnaise dipping sauce. During winter try it with lobster and a lime and coriander butter.
Innocent Bystander Tempranillo is a medium-bodied, juicy red wine from Victoria's King Valley and Heathcote regions, featuring vibrant red berry flavors with hints of earthy spice. It is a smooth, easy-drinking wine that pairs well with chargrilled dishes, tapas, or salami.
