Cushendall is a boutique winery and vineyard in the cool climate area of Taralga.

With a climate similar to Burgundy in France, our vineyards are planted to the varieties made famous by that and nearby regions:

• Pinot Noir - the elegant 'aristocrat' of the world of wine excels in the climate and exhibits the characteristic flavours and aromas of plum and rhubarb.

• Chenin Blanc - the grape of the Loire Valley, a delighful crisp white wine with hints of passionfruit and green apple skin.

• Gamay - the grape of Beaujolais - a lovely light lunchtime red, exuberant, and youthful cherry and confectionary flavours.

• Riesling - steely and lean as you would expect from these cool climate plantings.

The flavour intensity of our fruit is high as a result of slower ripening, and the "Bannaby Mist" on our Glenarm vineyard assists in the crucial slow ripening process.

Our grapes are hand-picked as vines are high-trellissed and sloping to gain the best growing in our 'terroir', then crushed in a hand press at our Taralga winery.

Cushendall wines are available at our tasting room at Honeysuckle Cottage (cellar door sales), are on the wine lists at the Fireside Inn and Goulburn Club in Goulburn, and for sale by mail order.

Limited supplies of current vintages are available. For mail orders and enquiries, please Contact Us.
