Brindabella Hills

Roger and Faye Harris planted the Brindabella Hills vineyard in 1986 on a granite ridge above the Murrumbidgee River, 25 kilometres north-west of Canberra, as an experimental plot in what was then unproven country. They ran the property for thirty-one vintages before retiring in 2017; current owner Michael Anderson has held it since. The winemaking method is unchanged: reds fermented in open vats with skins hand-plunged in the traditional manner, then aged 1–2 years in French and American oak. The core range is cool-climate Riesling, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet; a Marsanne Roussanne Viognier blend (a Rhône-style white unusual for the district) took trophy at the 2025 NSW Wine Awards. Cellar door open weekends and most public holidays 10am–5pm, weekday sales only. Restaurant Saturday and Sunday.
