Notes: Our Winery is situated in the far north west of Victoria in Mildura. Wine production in this area presents its challenges with extremes and unpredictability of weather but that's what makes winemaking in this region so rewarding.
The Farrell Estate range of wines are 100% sourced from vineyards throughout the Sunraysia area including Sunnycliffs, Irymple, and Nichols Point
Our Winemaker at Farrell Estate Wines is Janel Farrell (nee Carruthers) who has over ten years experience in the Wine Industry from small premium to large commercial wineries.
Our Wine: Traditional Winemaking is the key to Farrell Estate Wines. The fruit is hand selected and hand harvested. Each vineyard is carefully monitored to ensure harvest takes place at the correct time - ensuring optimum flavour and quality. The grapes are gently crushed/destemmed then fermented in open fermenters. They are plunged regularly and monitored to ensure optimum flavour, complexity and colour. The fruit is gently basket pressed and allowed to complete primary and secondary fermentation in the American and French Hogshead barrels.
Since 2000 Janel has been co-fermenting (Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot) the winegrapes for the heljan label. Janel believes doing this optimises the complexity and characteristics of the wine allowing each of the varieties positive characteristics to marry and produce an outstanding wine - try it for yourself!
Directions: Ginquam Ave, between 11th and 14th Street Irymple
