Region Notes
‘Wilton’ was an old town in Flaxman Valley and the vineyard was planted on the
hill above the town, hence the property name. The property covers 250 acres and
was originally part of the largest land-holding within Flaxman Valley, of
approximately 4000 acres, by the Pohlner family who were original 1852 settlers.
The property boasts 64 acres under vine, 8 varieties with 11 clones of Shiraz. Once
a goldmine with 40 workers, there are many natural springs and also ancient
protected Yacca plants, some up to 500 years old. The vineyards are farmed
sustainably and use organic practices. The oldest vines are 100 years and a small
Shiraz block planted in 1965 provides the fruit for the ‘Wilton Hill’ Shiraz.
