Leura Park Estate has completed installation of a state-of-the-art new winery on site at the Bellarine Peninsula vineyard.  The winery will be activated for the first time this week with the first harvest of grapes for Vintage 2010.

Brown Brothers, a major force in the Australian wine industry, has signed a contract to purchase chardonnay grapes from Bellarine Peninsula vineyard, Leura Park Estate with a view to using them for its flagship ‘Patricia’ range of wines.  The contract is the culmination of an extensive 12 month search for top quality cool climate Chardonnay grapes to complement fruit sourced from Brown Brothers’ renowned high altitude vineyard at Whitlands.

A hand picked ’07 Shiraz from a tiny 1.5 acre block took out the coveted Gold Medal in the largest class at the 2008 Geelong Wine Show...

Great people, food and music!  Test Pilot Molly kept everyone's mood upbeat with sensational renditions from the 60's, 70's and 80's, the giant WOK was rocking - as were the mini pizzas, wicked mini Dutch pancakes and assorted tasting platters!  Our new release premium wines and Halleleura Olive Oil went down a treat and everyone had a smile on their dial throughout the day!!

Thanks to all who came and celebrated Toast to the Coast - Nov 1 & 2 - here with us at Leura Park Estate!

In a word. . .it was AWESOME!!
