The sub-soil is red light-to-medium clay containing limestone pebbles. The vineyard is virtually pesticide and chemical free; warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to ripen during the day and the vines to recover overnight.

A classic wine of true distinction and a nod to our past. Named after founder Phil Bennett’s grandfather - a publican in the roaring 20's of inner Sydney, this beautiful wine showcases the Turners Crossing single vineyard from one of Bendigo’s best vintages. It is a magnificently structured and textural wine that will age beautifully for many years to come.
Our signature family series is a genuine symbol of Australian family heritage and quality.
